Shloka 29
युधिष्ठिरस्य धनंजय-प्रति गर्हा
Yudhiṣṭhira’s Reproach to Dhanaṃjaya
युधिष्ठटिर: पुन: कर्णमविद्ृध्यत् त्रिंशता शरै: । सुषेणं सत्यसेनं च त्रिभिस्त्रेभिरताडयत्,युधिष्ठिरने पुन: तीस बाणोंसे कर्णको बींध डाला तथा सुषेण और सत्यसेनको भी तीन-तीन बाणोंसे घायल कर दिया
yudhiṣṭhiraḥ punaḥ karṇam avidhyat triṃśatā śaraiḥ | suṣeṇaṃ satyasenaṃ ca tribhis tribhir atāḍayat ||
サञ्जयは語った。ユディシュティラは再びカルナを射抜き、三十の矢でその身を貫いた。さらにスシェーナとサティヤセーナをも、それぞれ三矢で打って傷を負わせた。戦場の義務という苛烈な掟のもと、王は断固たる集中をもって—最大の脅威を抑えつつ、カルナの猛攻を支える援護の武者たちをも無力化したのである。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights kṣatriya-dharma in practice: decisive action against a principal adversary while also neutralizing his support. It reflects the battlefield ethic of focused duty and strategic restraint—aimed at ending harm by disabling the capacity to fight rather than indulging in needless cruelty.
Sañjaya reports that Yudhiṣṭhira repeatedly attacks Karṇa, piercing him with thirty arrows, and then strikes Karṇa’s associates Suṣeṇa and Satyasena with three arrows each, injuring them and weakening Karṇa’s immediate support in the fight.
