Shloka 43
कर्णपर्व — अध्याय ५७
Arjuna’s targeted advance; Śalya–Karṇa dialogue; interception attempts
याहि याहीति गोविन्द मुहुर्महुरचोदयत् । तां युद्धभूमिं पार्थस्य दर्शयित्वा च माधव:
yāhi yāhīti govinda muhur muhur acodayat | tāṁ yuddhabhūmiṁ pārthasya darśayitvā ca mādhavaḥ ||
サञ्जयは語った。アルジュナはゴーヴィンダに幾度も「進め、進め」と促した。するとマाधवは、パールタに戦場を示しつつ、急ぎ足で前へ進み—諸王と武将が集まりゆく場へと導き、迫り来る衝突の、ダルマを帯びた重々しい現実へと彼の注意を向けさせた。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical weight of war: even amid urgency, action is guided through clear perception and counsel. Arjuna’s insistence and Kṛṣṇa’s guiding role underscore disciplined leadership—moving forward while keeping the moral reality of the battlefield fully in view.
Arjuna repeatedly tells Kṛṣṇa to proceed. Kṛṣṇa advances quickly, showing Arjuna the battlefield—directing his attention to the assembled forces and the immediate situation before engagement.
