Yudhiṣṭhira–Droṇa Saṃgrāma
Engagement and Countermeasures
मा विषादे मन: पार्थ कृथा: कालो हि दुर्जय: । काल: सर्वाणि भूतानि नियच्छति परे विधौ,“कुन्तीनन्दन! तुम अपने मनको विषादमें न डालो; क्योंकि कालपर विजय पाना अत्यन्त कठिन है। काल ही समस्त प्राणियोंको विधाताके अवश्यम्भावी विधानमें प्रवृत्त कर देता है
mā viṣāde manaḥ pārtha kṛthāḥ kālo hi durjayaḥ | kālaḥ sarvāṇi bhūtāni niyacchati pare vidhau ||
サンジャヤは言った。「パールタよ、心を悲嘆に沈めてはならぬ。時（カーラ）はまことに征し難い。時はあらゆる生きとし生けるものを統べ、至上の配剤者の避けがたい定めのうちへと駆り立てるのだ。」

Educational Q&A
Do not succumb to despair: Time (kāla) is an overpowering force that directs all beings according to the higher, inevitable dispensation. The ethical thrust is steadiness of mind and acceptance of what lies beyond personal control while continuing one’s duty.
Sanjaya addresses Partha (Arjuna) with counsel meant to restrain grief and agitation amid the calamities of the war, reminding him that events unfold under the irresistible governance of Time and the ordained order.
