Shloka 30
एवंगते प्राप्तकालं कर्णानीके पुन: पुन: । भवान् व्यवस्यतु क्षिप्रं द्रवते हि वरूथिनी,'ऐसी अवस्थामें कर्णकी सेनाके पास हमारा जो समयोचित कर्तव्य हो, उसका आप शीघ्र निश्चय करें; क्योंकि हमारी सेना बारंबार भाग रही है
evaṃgate prāptakālaṃ karṇānīke punaḥ punaḥ | bhavān vyavasyatu kṣipraṃ dravate hi varūthinī ||
Sañjaya said: “Since matters have come to this pass and the decisive moment has arrived in Karṇa’s division, you must quickly determine what ought to be done. For our battle-array is repeatedly breaking and fleeing.”

Educational Q&A
In a moral crisis, timely discernment and decisive leadership are essential: when a collective is collapsing, delay worsens harm, so one must quickly determine the most fitting duty-bound course.
Sañjaya reports that the Kaurava forces, particularly around Karṇa’s contingent, are in disarray and repeatedly fleeing; he urges an immediate decision about what should be done at this critical moment.
