Shloka 106
यदि चैतत् कथज्चित् स्याललोकपर्यासनं भवेत् | हन्यां कर्ण तथा शल्यं बाहुभ्यामेव संयुगे,“यदि किसी तरह ऐसा हो जाय तो संसार उलट जायगा। मैं अपनी दोनों भुजाओंसे ही युद्धभूमिमें कर्ण तथा शल्यको मसल डालूँगा'
yadi caitat kathañcit syāl loka-paryāsanaṃ bhavet | hanyāṃ karṇaṃ tathā śalyaṃ bāhubhyām eva saṃyuge ||
ಸಂಜಯನು ಹೇಳಿದನು—ಯಾವುದೋ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅದು ಸಂಭವಿಸಿದರೆ, ಲೋಕಕ್ರಮವೇ ತಲೆಕೆಳಗಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಯುದ್ಧಭೂಮಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಾನು ನನ್ನ ಎರಡೂ ಭುಜಬಲದಿಂದಲೇ ಕರ್ಣನನ್ನೂ ಶಲ್ಯನನ್ನೂ ಚೂರ್ನಮಾಡುವೆನು।

The verse highlights the epic’s concern for loka-dharma (the world’s moral and social order): certain outcomes are portrayed as so disruptive that they would ‘overturn the world.’ It also reflects the kṣatriya ideal of personal valor—asserting that decisive action in war can be taken by one’s own strength, without reliance on external aids.
Sañjaya reports a forceful declaration in the war narrative: if an unlikely or unacceptable situation were to occur—one that would amount to a reversal of the world’s order—the speaker vows to personally engage and overpower the formidable warriors Karṇa and Śalya in direct combat, relying solely on his own arms.
