अध्याय २९: कर्णस्य शल्यं प्रति शापस्मरणं च युद्धनिश्चयः | Chapter 29: Karṇa recalls curses to Śalya and declares resolve for battle
कौरवेष्वपयातेषु तदा राजन् दिनक्षये । जयं सुमनस: प्राप्य पार्था: स्वशिबिरं ययु:,राजन! दिनके अन्तमें कौरवोंके हट जानेपर पाण्डव भी विजय पाकर प्रसन्नचित्त हो भाँति-भाँतिके बाजोंकी आवाज, सिंहनाद और गर्जनाके द्वारा शत्रुओंका उपहास और श्रीकृष्ण तथा अर्जुनकी स्तुति करते हुए अपने शिविरको लौट गये
kauraveṣv apayāteṣu tadā rājan dinakṣaye | jayaṁ sumanasaḥ prāpya pārthāḥ svaśibiraṁ yayuḥ ||
サञ्जयは言った。「大王よ、日が暮れかけ、カウラヴァ軍が退いたとき、プリターの子ら(パーンダヴァ)は勝利を得て心喜び、自らの陣営へと帰っていった。さまざまな楽器の響き、獅子の咆哮のごとき叫び、雷鳴のような鬨の声をもって敵を嘲り、クリシュナとアルジュナを讃え、その日の戦果を歓呼した。」
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights how victory in war quickly turns into public celebration and derision of the defeated; ethically, it points to the volatile emotions of the battlefield—exultation, pride, and mockery—contrasted with the ideal of restraint (dama) that dharma literature often commends.
At the close of the day’s fighting, the Kaurava forces withdraw. The Pāṇḍavas, encouraged by their success, return to their camp celebrating with loud martial sounds, ridiculing the enemy, and praising Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna.
