ಸಂಜಯನು ಹೇಳಿದನು—ಅವನನ್ನು ಕೆಡವಿದ ಬಳಿಕ, ರಾಧೇಯನು ಮತ್ತೆ ಅವನತ್ತಲೇ ನೇರವಾಗಿ ಮುನ್ನಡೆದನು; ರಣಧರ್ಮದಂತೆ ವಿರಾಮವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ದಾಳಿಯನ್ನು ಮುಂದುವರಿಸಿದನು।

The verse highlights the uncompromising momentum of kṣatriya warfare: once an opponent is struck, the warrior continues to press the engagement. Ethically, it reflects the battlefield frame where resolve and duty-driven action dominate, as reported by Sañjaya without moralizing.
Sañjaya narrates that Karṇa (Rādheya), after striking his opponent, immediately moves toward him again—indicating continued pursuit or a follow-up assault in the ongoing battle.
