कर्णार्जुनसमागमः — The Karṇa–Arjuna Confrontation
Cosmic Spectatorship and Vows
ततो धनंजयो द्रष्ट राजानं बाणपीडितम् । रथेन प्रययौ क्षिप्रं संग्रामात् केशवाज्ञया
tato dhanañjayo dṛṣṭvā rājānaṁ bāṇapīḍitam | rathena prayayau kṣipraṁ saṅgrāmāt keśavājñayā ||
サンジャヤは言った。するとダナンジャヤ(アルジュナ)は、矢に苦しめられる王(ユディシュティラ)を見て、ケーシャヴァ(クリシュナ)の命に従い、戦場から戦車を素早く走らせて離れた。
संजय उवाच
Even in war, right action includes disciplined responsiveness to wise guidance and concern for the rightful leader’s welfare; Arjuna follows Kṛṣṇa’s directive and attends to the wounded king, reflecting dharma through obedience, prudence, and care.
Sañjaya narrates that Arjuna, noticing Yudhiṣṭhira suffering from arrow-wounds, quickly drives his chariot away from the immediate battle area to go and see him, doing so on Kṛṣṇa’s instruction.
