Adhyāya 40 (Book 7, Droṇa-parva): Abhimanyu’s Rapid Advance and Battlefield Disruption
कर्णोडपि चास्य चिक्षेप बाणान् संनतपर्वण:
karṇo 'pi cāsya cikṣepa bāṇān sannataparvaṇaḥ
ສັນຊະຍະ ກ່າວວ່າ: ກັນນະ ກໍຍິງລູກສອນໃສ່ເຂົາເຊັ່ນກັນ—ລູກສອນທີ່ຂໍ້ຕໍ່ບິດໄດ້ດີ ແລະຍຶດແນ່ນຫນາ—ເພີ່ມຄວາມຮຸນແຮງຂອງການຈົມຕີ ທ່າມກາງສົງຄາມອັນເປັນທຳ ແຕ່ກໍທຳລາຍຢ່າງຫຼວງຫຼາຍ.

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores how, in war, skilled warriors intensify pressure through superior weapon-craft; ethically, it reflects the Mahābhārata’s tension between kṣatriya-duty (fighting with full prowess) and the tragic cost of escalating violence.
Sañjaya reports that Karṇa joins the attack and discharges well-made arrows at a particular opponent (“him”), indicating a coordinated or renewed assault during the Drona Parva battle sequence.
