कुन्ती–कर्णसंवादः
Kuntī–Karṇa Dialogue: Loyalty, Fate, and Constrained Assurance
कर्णार्जुनौ वै भवेतां यथा रामजनार्दनौ | असाध्यं कि तु लोके स्याद् युवयो: संहितात्मनो:,कर्ण और अर्जुन दोनों मिलकर वैसे ही बलशाली हैं जैसे बलराम और श्रीकृष्ण। बेटा! तुम दोनों हृदयसे संगठित हो जाओ तो इस जगत्में तुम्हारे लिये कौन-सा कार्य असाध्य होगा?
karṇārjunau vai bhavetāṃ yathā rāmajanārdanau | asādhyaṃ kiṃ tu loke syād yuvayoḥ saṃhitātmanoḥ ||
Biarlah Karṇa dan Arjuna bersama, sebagaimana Balarāma dan Janārdana (Kṛṣṇa) berdiri seiring. Anakku, bila kalian berdua bersatu dalam hati, pekerjaan apa di dunia ini yang masih tak mungkin kalian capai?
