कर्ण उवाच
The verse highlights disciplined heroism: after repelling immediate enemies, the warriors deliberately face the principal adversary (Arjuna). It reflects the kṣatriya ideal of purposeful courage guided by strategy and resolve, not impulsive violence.
In the Karṇa Parva battle sequence, Karna describes how the great chariot-warriors advance, ward off opposing fighters, and then turn to confront Dhanañjaya (Arjuna) directly, signaling a focused engagement with the foremost Pandava champion.
