कर्णपर्व — अध्याय ५७
Arjuna’s targeted advance; Śalya–Karṇa dialogue; interception attempts
यतो युधिष्ठिरो राजा सृज्जयाश्व महारथा: । तदनन्तर अर्जुनके कथनानुसार श्रीकृष्ण तुरंत ही रथके द्वारा उसी ओर चल दिये, जहाँ राजा युधिष्ठिर और सूंजय महारथी मौजूद थे
yato yudhiṣṭhiro rājā sṛñjayāśva-mahārathāḥ | tadanantaram arjunake kathanānusāraṁ śrīkṛṣṇaḥ turantaṁ hi rathena tasyāṁ diśi calito yatra rājā yudhiṣṭhiraḥ sṛñjayaś ca mahārathī vidyamānau ||
ರಾಜ ಯುಧಿಷ್ಠಿರನೂ ಮಹಾರಥಿ ಸೃಂಜಯನೂ ಇದ್ದ ದಿಕ್ಕಿಗೆ—ಅರ್ಜುನನ ಮಾತಿನಂತೆ—ಶ್ರೀಕೃಷ್ಣನು ತಕ್ಷಣವೇ ರಥವನ್ನು ಆ ಕಡೆಗೆ ಓಡಿಸಿದನು।

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores disciplined responsiveness in righteous action: when counsel is given in a crisis, a capable leader executes promptly and supports the rightful commander (Yudhiṣṭhira) through swift coordination rather than hesitation.
Sañjaya reports that, following Arjuna’s direction, Kṛṣṇa immediately turns and drives the chariot toward the position where Yudhiṣṭhira and the warrior Sṛñjaya are present.
