दुर्योधन-कर्ण-संवादः
Duryodhana–Karna Dialogue on Vyūha-bheda and Daiva
सारथे याहि यत्रैष द्रोणस्तिष्ठति देशित: । विनिघ्नन् केकयान् सर्वान् पज्चालानां च वाहिनीम्,'सारथे! जहाँ ये द्रोणाचार्य कवच धारण किये खड़े हैं और समस्त केकयों तथा पांचाल-सेनाका संहार कर रहे हैं, वहीं चलो"
sārathe yāhi yatraiṣa droṇas tiṣṭhati deśitaḥ | vinighnan kekayān sarvān pāñcālānāṃ ca vāhinīm ||
Sañjaya said: “Charioteer, drive to the place where Droṇa stands, fully armed and stationed as directed, cutting down all the Kekayas and striking the Pañcāla host as well.” The line underscores the grim momentum of battle: tactical urgency overrides compassion, and the charioteer is commanded to carry the warrior toward the very center of slaughter, where Droṇa’s prowess is turning the tide.
