Vāsudevas tu Rādheyam āhave ’bhijagāma vai | tata enam uvācedaṃ Pāṇḍavārtha-gadāgrajaḥ ||
そのとき、ヴァースデーヴァ（シュリー・クリシュナ）は戦場でラーデーヤ（カルナ）のもとへと近づいた。そこに至るや、棍棒の使い手（バララーマ）の弟であるクリシュナは、パーンダヴァの利益を念じて、次の言葉を彼に告げた。

Educational Q&A
Even amid war, Kṛṣṇa acts with deliberate ethical purpose: he engages opponents through counsel and strategy aimed at restoring dharma and protecting rightful order, showing that speech and discernment remain instruments of righteousness alongside force.
Sañjaya reports that Kṛṣṇa goes directly to Karṇa on the battlefield and begins a speech intended for the Pāṇḍavas’ welfare—setting up a significant counsel/appeal to Karṇa before the ensuing events.
