Shloka 105
“अर्जुन! तुम्हें ज्ञात होना चाहिये कि पांचालयोद्धा, द्रौपदीके पुत्र, धृष्टद्युम्न, शिखण्डी, धृष्टद्युम्नके पुत्रजण, नकुल-कुमार शतानीक, नकुल-सहदेव, दुर्मुख, जनमेजय, सुधर्मा और सात्यकि--ये सब-के-सब कर्णके वशमें पड़ गये हैं ।।

Sañjaya berkata: “Wahai Arjuna, ketahuilah: para kesatria Pañcāla, putra-putra Draupadī, Dhṛṣṭadyumna, Śikhaṇḍin, putra-putra Dhṛṣṭadyumna, Śatānīka putra Nakula, Nākuli, Nakula dan Sahadeva, Durmukha, Janamejaya, Sudharmā, serta Sātyaki—semuanya telah jatuh di bawah kuasa Karṇa. Dan wahai penakluk musuh, di medan laga terdengar jelas pekik ngeri kerabatmu, para Pañcāla, yang dihantam oleh Karṇa.”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical weight of warfare: tactical success (Karṇa’s blows) is inseparable from human suffering (the dreadful cries of allies). It implicitly urges discernment about the consequences of violence even when performed under kṣatriya-duty.
Sañjaya reports to Arjuna that the Pāñcāla forces—counted among Arjuna’s allies/kinsmen—have been grievously struck by Karṇa, and their terrible cries are clearly heard across the battlefield.
