Karṇa’s advance against the Pāṇḍava host; Arjuna’s clash with the Saṃśaptakas (कर्णस्य पाण्डवसेनाप्रवेशः—अर्जुनस्य संशप्तकसंप्रहारः)
तुष्टवुर्वाग्भिरिष्टाभिर्भयेष्वभयदं नृप । सर्वात्मानं महात्मानं येनाप्तं सर्वमात्मना
tuṣṭuvur vāgbhir iṣṭābhir bhayeṣv abhayadaṃ nṛpa | sarvātmānaṃ mahātmānaṃ yenāptaṃ sarvam ātmanā ||
ドゥルヨーダナは言った。「王よ、彼らは御心にかなう言葉をもって、大いなる魂の主を讃えた。万有の自己にして、恐怖の時に無畏を授ける御方—その御自身の本性によって宇宙のすべてが遍満されている御方を。」
