कर्णपर्व — अध्याय ५९
Arjuna Breaks the Encirclement; Bhīma Reinforces
एष त्वां प्रेक्षेते कर्ण: सकटाक्ष॑ विशाम्पते । उत्तमं जवमास्थाय ध्रुवमेष्यति संयुगे
eṣa tvāṁ prekṣete karṇaḥ sakaṭākṣa viśāmpate | uttamaṁ javam āsthāya dhruvam eṣyati saṁyuge ||
ສັນຊະຍະກ່າວວ່າ: «ໂອ ເຈົ້າແຫ່ງປະຊາຊົນ, ກັນນະກຳລັງເບິ່ງເຈົ້າດ້ວຍສາຍຕາສຽງຂ້າງອັນແນ່ວແນ່. ດ້ວຍການອາໄສຄວາມໄວອັນຍອດ ແລະຄວາມມຸ່ງມັ່ນ, ລາວຈະມາຫາເຈົ້າຢ່າງຕົງໆໃນຍຸດທະນີ້ແນ່ນອນ»។

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the inevitability of direct confrontation in dharma-yuddha: a warrior’s intent becomes visible through demeanor (the sidelong, assessing glance) and is fulfilled through decisive action. It underscores resolve and the moral gravity of facing an opponent openly in battle.
Sañjaya reports to the king that Karṇa is fixing his attention on the addressed ruler with a pointed, sidelong look and is about to charge forward with great speed, indicating an imminent, focused attack in the ongoing battle.
