द्रोणपर्व — अध्याय १६२: प्रातःसंध्यायां युद्धप्रवृत्तिः तथा रजोमेघे संमूढता
अद्य धर्मसुतो राजा दृष्टवा मम पराक्रमम्
adya dharmasuto rājā dṛṣṭvā mama parākramam
サンジャヤは言った。「今日、我が武勇を目の当たりにして、ダルマの子なる王(ユディシュティラ)は……」
संजय उवाच
The line juxtaposes dharma (embodied by “Dharmasuta”) with parākrama (martial prowess), highlighting a recurring Mahābhārata tension: ethical kingship must continually interpret and respond to the realities of war and demonstrated strength.
Sañjaya, narrating events to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, begins a statement about Yudhiṣṭhira’s reaction after seeing “my prowess.” The verse is syntactically incomplete on its own and is meant to be completed by the following line(s), indicating an ongoing description of battlefield developments and their impact on the king.
