अमोघशक्तिव्यंसनप्रश्नः — Why Karṇa’s Śakti Was Not Used on Arjuna

किममन्यत दुर्थर्षे प्रविष्टे शत्रुतापने । दुर्योधनस्तु कि कृत्यं प्राप्तकालममन्यत,सिंधुराज जयद्रथ तथा वीर भूरिश्रवाके मारे जानेपर अपराजित वीर महातेजस्वी द्रोणाचार्य जब पांचालोंकी सेनामें घुसे, उस समय शत्रुओंको संताप देनेवाले उन दुर्धर्ष वीरके प्रवेश कर लेनेपर दुर्योधनने उस अवसरके अनुरूप किस कार्यको मान्यता प्रदान की

dhṛtarāṣṭra uvāca | kim amanyata durdharṣe praviṣṭe śatrutāpane | duryodhanas tu kiṁ kṛtyaṁ prāptakālam amanyata | sindhurājaḥ jayadrathaḥ tathā vīraḥ bhūriśravāḥ |

Dhṛtarāṣṭra said: “When the unconquerable, enemy-tormenting Droṇa had entered the Pañcāla forces, what did Duryodhana judge to be the proper course of action at that critical moment? And what did Jayadratha, the king of Sindhu, and the hero Bhūriśravas decide?”
