Transliteration

sañjaya uvāca | trigartīḥ saha yotsyāmi bhāradvājasya paśyataḥ | ye samastā vīrā mamaiva oraṁ mukhaṁ kṛtvā yuddhāya tiṣṭhanti | sārathi aśvān prera ya māṁ śīghram eṣāṁ samīpaṁ prāpaya | ahaṁ droṇācāryasya paśyataḥ trigartaiḥ saha yuddhaṁ kariṣyāmi |

Translation

ಭಾರದ್ವಾಜನ ಪುತ್ರ ದ್ರೋಣನು ನೋಡುತ್ತಿರುವಾಗಲೇ ನಾನು ತ್ರಿಗರ್ತರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಯುದ್ಧ ಮಾಡುತ್ತೇನೆ। ಈ ಎಲ್ಲ ಯೋಧರೂ ನನ್ನತ್ತ ಮುಖಮಾಡಿ ಸಮರಕ್ಕೆ ನಿಂತಿದ್ದಾರೆ। ಸಾರಥೇ, ಕುದುರೆಗಳನ್ನು ಓಡಿಸಿ, ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಶೀಘ್ರವಾಗಿ ಅವರ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಕರೆದೊಯ್ಯ; ದ್ರೋಣನ ಕಣ್ಣಮುಂದೆಯೇ ನಾನು ತ್ರಿಗರ್ತರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಹೋರಾಡುವೆನು।

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The passage highlights the warrior ethos of facing opponents directly and acting decisively under duty (kṣātra-dharma), with an added emphasis on reputation and accountability—fighting ‘in the presence’ of a revered commander (Droṇa) makes one’s conduct publicly answerable.

What is happening in the narrative?

A warrior (as reported by Sanjaya) sees the Trigartas arrayed against him and orders his charioteer to drive swiftly into their midst, declaring that he will engage them while Droṇācārya watches.
