Chapter 136: Pandava Counter-Encirclement and the Vāyavya-Astra Disruption
दुर्योधनस्ततो राजन्नभ्यभाषत दुर्मुखम् । एष दुर्मुख राधेयो भीमेन विरथीकृत:
duryodhanas tato rājann abhyabhāṣata durmukham | eṣa durmukha rādheyo bhīmena virathīkṛtaḥ ||
サンジャヤは言った。ついで王よ、ドゥルヨーダナはドゥルムカに語りかけた。「見よ、ドゥルムカ――ラーデーヤ(カルナ)はビーマによって車を失わされた。」この報告は、戦における運命の急転と、名高い武人が忽ち落とされるとき指揮官にのしかかる道義の重圧を示している。
संजय उवाच
Even renowned warriors can be suddenly reduced in battle; the episode highlights the instability of worldly power and the ethical burden on leaders who must respond to setbacks without losing discernment or responsibility.
Sanjaya reports to Dhritarashtra that Duryodhana speaks to Durmukha, pointing out that Karna (Radheya) has been rendered chariotless by Bhima—an urgent battlefield update meant to spur reaction and reorganization.
