अमोघशक्तिव्यंसनप्रश्नः — Why Karṇa’s Śakti Was Not Used on Arjuna
ततः सुतास्ते वरुणात्मजोपमा रुषान्विता: सह गुरुणा महात्मना । वृकोदरं सरथपदातिकुणञ्जरा युयुत्सवो भूशमभिपर्यवारयन्,इसके बाद वरुणपुत्रके समान पराक्रमी आपके सभी पुत्र रोषमें भरकर युद्धकी इच्छासे रथ, पैदल और हाथियोंकी सेना साथ ले महात्मा गुरु द्रोणाचार्यके साथ आये और वेगपूर्वक भीमसेनको सब ओरसे घेरकर खड़े हो गये
tataḥ sutās te varuṇātmajopamā ruṣānvitāḥ saha guruṇā mahātmanā | vṛkodaraṁ sa-ratha-padāti-kuñjarā yuyutsavo bhūśam abhiparyavārayan ||
Sañjaya said: Then your sons—mighty like the son of Varuṇa—filled with wrath and eager to fight, advanced together with the great-souled teacher Droṇa, bringing chariots, infantry, and elephants; and with swift force they surrounded Bhīmasena on all sides. The scene underscores how anger and the thirst for victory can drive a collective to encircle a single formidable foe, intensifying the moral pressure and peril within the battlefield’s code.
