कर्ण उवाच
Educational Q&A
Karna frames the situation as governed by destiny (daiva), yet urges decisive human effort: once battle is joined, one should act with full strength and resolve rather than waver over alternative outcomes.
In the midst of the Drona Parva fighting, Karna addresses Duryodhana (Suyodhana), asserting that what fate has ordained cannot be altered, and therefore Duryodhana should commit himself wholeheartedly to the ongoing war effort.
