Droṇanidhana-anantaraṃ sainya-viṣādaḥ and Karṇa-pravṛttiḥ
After Droṇa’s fall: army despondency and Karṇa’s advance
Devanagari script
स तमुद्वीक्ष्य राजानं कश्मलाभिहतौजसम् | ववन्दे प्राञ्जलि र्भूत्वा मूर्थ्ना पादौ नृपस्य ह,मोहवश जिनके बल और उत्साह नष्ट हो गये थे, उन राजा धृतराष्ट्रका दर्शन करके संजयने उनके चरणोंमें मस्तक झुकाकर हाथ जोड़ प्रणाम किया
Transliteration
sa tam udvīkṣya rājānaṁ kaśmalābhihatāujasam | vavande prāñjalir bhūtvā mūrdhnā pādau nṛpasya ha ||
Translation
Seeing the king—Dhṛtarāṣṭra—whose strength and spirit had been struck down by anguish, Sañjaya bowed with folded hands and, lowering his head to the monarch’s feet, offered reverent homage. The scene frames a courtly ethic of respect and duty amid the moral weight of war and grief.
