संजय उवाच एवमुक्तो महाराज ततो दुर्योधनो नृप: । उत्तस्थौ राजभि: सार्धथ देवैरिव शतक्रतु:,संजय कहते हैं--महाराज! कर्णके ऐसा कहनेपर राजा दुर्योधन अन्य सामन्त नरेशोंके साथ उसी प्रकार उठकर खड़ा हो गया, जैसे देवताओंके साथ इन्द्र खड़े होते हैं
sañjaya uvāca evam ukto mahārāja tato duryodhano nṛpaḥ | uttasthau rājabhiḥ sārdhaṃ devair iva śatakratuḥ ||
サンジャヤは言った。「大王よ、カルナがこのように語るや、ドゥルヨーダナ王は諸侯の王たちとともに立ち上がった。百の供犠の主シャタクラトゥ（インドラ）が神々とともに立つがごとくであった。」

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights royal decorum and the performative aspect of leadership: Duryodhana’s public rising with allied kings signals solidarity and resolve, using Indra’s stature as an ethical-narrative benchmark for how a leader is expected to appear among his supporters.
After Karna has spoken, Duryodhana stands up along with the other supporting rulers. Sanjaya describes this moment to Dhritarashtra with a simile: Duryodhana rising among kings is like Indra rising among the gods.
