Shloka 33
श्वेतवाजिसमायुक्तं युक्त राधासुतेन च । “धनंजय! तुम्हें जिसके साथ युद्ध करना है
śvetavājisamāyuktaṃ yuktaṃ rādhāsutena ca | “dhanañjaya! tumheṃ jisake sātha yuddha karanā hai, vaha karṇa ā gayā | aba sthira ho jāo | pāṇḍunandana! śveta ghoṛoṃ se jute hue karṇa ke isa saje-sajāye rathako, jisapara vaha svayaṃ virājamāna hai, dekho”
Sañjaya berkata: “Wahai Dhanañjaya, Karna—lawan yang harus kautempuh—telah tiba. Kini teguhkanlah dirimu. Wahai putra Pāṇḍu, pandanglah kereta Karna yang berhias elok, ditarik kuda-kuda putih, dengan Karna sendiri duduk di atasnya.”

The verse emphasizes steadiness (sthira-bhāva) in righteous conflict: when a daunting adversary appears, one must remain composed and resolute, acting from duty rather than agitation or fear.
Sañjaya reports that Karna has arrived for battle and addresses Arjuna by his epithets, urging him to stand firm and to look upon Karna’s splendid chariot yoked to white horses—signaling the imminent, climactic confrontation.
