Shloka 44
कर्णपर्व — अध्याय ५७
Arjuna’s targeted advance; Śalya–Karṇa dialogue; interception attempts
त्वरमाणस्तत: कृष्ण: पार्थमाह शनैरिदम् | पश्य पाण्डव राजानमुपयातांश्व पार्थिवान्
tvaramāṇas tataḥ kṛṣṇaḥ pārtham āha śanair idam | paśya pāṇḍava rājānam upayātāṃś ca pārthivān |
サञ्जयは語った。するとクリシュナは急ぎつつも、パールタに静かに告げた。「見よ、パाण्डゥの子よ—王を見よ。いかに多くの地上の諸侯が、すでにそのもとへ集い来たかを見よ。」戦場に満ちる道義の緊迫の中で、クリシュナの急ぎながらも柔らかな諭しは、アルジュナの視座を定める。これは私闘ではない。多くの王とその義務が交わる合流点であり、選択の一つ一つが公の、ダルマに関わる帰結を伴うのである。

Educational Q&A
Even amid urgency, guidance should be measured and clear: Kṛṣṇa hastens in action yet speaks softly, directing Arjuna to perceive the wider field of responsibility—many kings are involved, so decisions in war bear collective, dharmic weight beyond personal rivalry.
Sañjaya narrates that Kṛṣṇa, in haste, leads Arjuna’s attention across the battlefield and quietly points out the king and the many rulers who have approached him, situating the immediate combat within the larger movement of armies and allied monarchs.
