Sañjaya’s Report
यदा रथं॑ हेममणिप्रकाशं श्वेताश्वयुक्ते वानरकेतुमुग्रम् । द्रष्टा ममाप्यास्थितं केशवेन तदा तप्स्यत्यकृतात्मा स मन्द:

Educational Q&A
Lack of self-discipline (akṛtātmā) and pride make a person suffer when confronted with righteous strength and divine support; inner torment arises not from the opponent’s glory alone but from one’s own ethical failure and hardened ego.
Sañjaya foretells Duryodhana’s reaction: when he sees the splendid, fearsome chariot—yoked with white horses, bearing the monkey-emblem, and guided by Kṛṣṇa as charioteer—he will be inwardly scorched with distress and regret.
