Gadāyuddhe Kṛṣṇopadeśaḥ (Kṛṣṇa’s Counsel in the Mace-Duel) — Śalya-parva 57
Devanagari script
समशोभत तेजस्वी भूयो भीमात् सुयोधन: । नाना प्रकारके मार्गों और भिन्न-भिन्न मण्डलोंसे विचरते हुए तेजस्वी दुर्योधनकी उस समय भीमसेनसे अधिक शोभा हुई
Transliteration
samaśobhata tejasvī bhūyo bhīmāt suyodhanaḥ |
Translation
Sañjaya said: At that moment the radiant Suyodhana (Duryodhana) appeared even more splendid than Bhīma. Moving through many kinds of paths and shifting circles of combat, his prowess and presence seemed to outshine his opponent—an image that underscores how, in war, outward brilliance and tactical motion can momentarily eclipse moral evaluation, even as the larger dharmic reckoning remains unresolved.
