Educational Q&A
The verse condemns political greed and the surrender of moral judgment to corrupt influence: when one relies on deceitful counsel (Śakuni), dharma is abandoned, and harm to others follows.
Sañjaya rebukes Karṇa for repeatedly oppressing the Pāṇḍavas out of desire for royal power, and he pointedly asks where Karṇa’s sense of righteousness went when he aligned himself with Śakuni’s guidance.
