サンジャヤは言った。「戦場のただ中で、カルナは烈しい怒りに燃え、シニの子(シャイネーヤ)サーティヤキ—武士の法(ダルマ)を守り、規矩を失わぬ者—へ真っすぐ突進した。矢を雨のごとく浴びせつつ、カルナは攻めをさらに押し進めた。さらに偈は大きな断言を起こす――『天なるものでもなく、ガンダルヴァでもなく、アスラでもなく、ラークシャサでもない……』。」

Educational Q&A

Even amid extreme anger, the narrative highlights the ideal of not slipping from mary01d01 (proper bounds). The verse contrasts raw fury with the expectation of steadfastness in one19s code, framing battlefield conduct as an ethical discipline rather than mere violence.

Sanjaya reports that Karna, enraged, charges Satyaki (the son of Shini) and overwhelms him with a rain of arrows. The following half-line begins a hyperbolic declaration that no divine or superhuman class (gods, Gandharvas, Asuras, Rakshasas) can counter what is about to be asserted in the continuation.
