द्वैपायनह्रदे दुर्योधनान्वेषणम् / The Search for Duryodhana at Dvaipāyana Lake
हृद॑ चैवाहमाचक्ष॑ यं प्रविष्टो नराधिप: । तब मैंने उन लोगोंसे दुर्योधनका कुशल-समाचार बताया तथा दुर्योधनने मुझे जो संदेश दिया था, वह भी सब उनसे कह सुनाया और जिस सरोवरमें वह घुसा था, उसका भी पता बता दिया
hṛdaṁ caivāham ācakṣaṁ yaṁ praviṣṭo narādhipaḥ |
Sañjaya said: “I also disclosed the very lake into which the king had entered.” In context, Sañjaya reports to the gathered warriors that he conveyed Duryodhana’s welfare, delivered the message Duryodhana had entrusted to him, and revealed the location of the lake where Duryodhana lay concealed—an act that advances the final, morally fraught confrontation by turning secrecy into disclosure amid the collapse of restraint in war.
