Chapter 137: Yuyudhāna (Sātyaki) Slays Somadatta; Yudhiṣṭhira Redirected from Droṇa

Devanagari script

अश्वत्थामा मद्रराज: कृप: कर्णश्व॒ संगता:

Transliteration

aśvatthāmā madrarājaḥ kṛpaḥ karṇaś ca saṅgatāḥ

Translation

Dhṛtarāṣṭra said: “Aśvatthāmā, the king of Madra, Kṛpa, and Karṇa have come together (in alliance/consultation).” In the moral atmosphere of the war, the king’s words register the consolidation of powerful warriors—an ominous sign that strategy and loyalty are hardening into collective resolve, even as the conflict continues to erode kinship-based restraint.
