एवं तव दुरात्मान: शत्रव: शत्रुसूदन । क्षिप्रं नाशं गमिष्यन्ति कर्णदुर्योधनादय:
evaṁ tava durātmānaḥ śatravaḥ śatrusūdana | kṣipraṁ nāśaṁ gamiṣyanti karṇa-duryodhanādayaḥ ||
ຊາລະຍະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ໂອ ຜູ້ປະຫານສັດຕູ, ສັດຕູຜູ້ໃຈຊົ່ວຂອງເຈົ້າ—ກັນນະ, ທຸຣະໂຍທະນະ ແລະອື່ນໆ—ຈະພົບຄວາມພິນາດໃນໄວໆນີ້»។
शल्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse underscores a dharmic principle: persistent wickedness and hostility toward the righteous lead swiftly to ruin; moral disorder carries its own consequence.
Śalya addresses a heroic opponent-destroyer (śatrusūdana) and predicts that the Kaurava leaders—Karna, Duryodhana, and others—will soon be destroyed, offering reassurance about the downfall of the unrighteous side.
