Adhyāya 113: Karṇa–Bhīma Śaravarṣa and the Battlefield Aftermath (कर्णभीमशरवर्षः)
कुशल्यहं कुशलिनं समासाद्य धनंजयम् | हते जयद्रथे राजन् पुनरेष्यामि तेडन्तिकम्,“राजन! मैं कुशलपूर्वक रहकर सकुशल अर्जुनके पास पहुँच जाऊँगा और जयद्रथके मारे जानेपर उनके साथ ही आपके पास लौट आऊँगा
kuśalyahaṁ kuśalinaṁ samāsādya dhanañjayam | hate jayadrathe rājan punareṣyāmi te ’ntikam ||
サンジャヤは言った。「王よ、私は身を慎んで無事を保ち、ダナンジャヤ（アルジュナ）のもとへ安らかに辿り着きましょう。そしてジャヤドラタが討たれたなら、彼とともに再び陛下の御前へ戻って参ります。」

The verse highlights steadfastness in duty and truthful intent: Sañjaya emphasizes personal safety not for self-interest but to fulfill his responsibility of reaching Arjuna and returning to report to the king, linking his actions to a decisive ethical-strategic event in the war (Jayadratha’s fall).
Sañjaya addresses Dhṛtarāṣṭra, stating that he will safely reach Arjuna and then come back to the king after Jayadratha has been killed—marking anticipation of a crucial turning point on the battlefield.
