तत् कर्म कुरु राधेय वज़्रपाणिरिवापर: । “वीर राधापुत्र! वे दोनों जिसे न कर सके, वही वीरोचित कर्म आज महासमरमें दूसरे वज्रधारी इन्द्रके समान तुम निश्चय ही पूर्ण करो
tat karma kuru rādhēya vajrapāṇir ivāparaḥ |
ສັນຊະຍະກ່າວວ່າ: «ຈົ່ງກະທຳກິດນັ້ນ ໂອ້ ຣາເທຍ—ດຸດດັ່ງຜູ້ຖືວັດຊະຣະອີກຜູ້ໜຶ່ງ. ໂອ້ ບຸດແຫ່ງຣາທາ ຜູ້ກ້າຫານ, ໃນສົງຄາມໃຫຍ່ນີ້ ມື້ນີ້ ເຈົ້າຈົ່ງສຳເລັດໜ້າທີ່ຂອງນັກຮົບ ທີ່ສອງຄົນນັ້ນບໍ່ອາດສຳເລັດໄດ້.»

Educational Q&A
The verse urges decisive action aligned with a warrior’s role: one should undertake the necessary deed with unwavering resolve and heroic energy, not shrinking back because others failed.
Sañjaya, narrating the battlefield events, addresses Karṇa (Rādhēya) with a rousing exhortation, comparing him to Indra the thunderbolt-bearer and pressing him to accomplish in the great combat what two others were unable to achieve.
