Adhyāya 113: Karṇa–Bhīma Śaravarṣa and the Battlefield Aftermath (कर्णभीमशरवर्षः)
दैवं कृतास्त्रतां योगममर्षमपि चाहवे
daivaṃ kṛtāstratāṃ yogam amarṣam api cāhave
サञ्जयは言った。「その戦いには、宿命のもとに結ばれたかのような合流があった――武器の技の極致、規律ある戦略の結合、そして屈せぬ猛き憤怒さえも――すべてが運命の圧力に促されて立ち現れたのである。」
संजय उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how, in war, human effort—weapon-skill, planning, and disciplined coordination—intertwines with powerful emotions like wrath, all operating under the shadow of destiny (daiva). It implicitly warns that ethical judgment in battle must account for both deliberate agency and the destabilizing pull of passion.
Sañjaya, narrating events to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, characterizes the battlefield situation as one where destiny, martial preparedness, tactical alignment, and fierce anger are all simultaneously at play, intensifying the conflict’s momentum.
