कर्णनिधनवृत्तान्तनिवेदनम् | Reporting Karṇa’s Fall to Yudhiṣṭhira
तस्य कोपं समुद्वीक्ष्य चित्तज्ञ: केशवस्तदा । उवाच किमिदं पार्थ गृहीतः खड्ग इत्युत,उस समय उनका क्रोध देखकर सबके मनकी बात जाननेवाले भगवान् श्रीकृष्णने पूछा --'पार्थ! यह क्या? तुमने तलवार कैसे उठा ली?
tasya kopaṁ samudvīkṣya cittajñaḥ keśavas tadā | uvāca kim idaṁ pārtha gṛhītaḥ khaḍga ity uta ||
അവന്റെ കോപം കണ്ടു, മനസ്സുകളുടെ ഗതി അറിയുന്ന കേശവൻ അപ്പോൾ പറഞ്ഞു—“പാർത്ഥാ! ഇതെന്ത്? നീ വാൾ എന്തിന് എടുത്തു?”
संजय उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even in a righteous war, anger must not become the driver of action. Kṛṣṇa’s immediate questioning functions as an ethical restraint: a warrior’s force should be guided by discernment and dharma, not by sudden wrath.
Arjuna is seen in a state of anger and has taken up a sword. Kṛṣṇa, described as a knower of minds, notices this inner agitation and asks Arjuna why he has drawn the sword, signaling concern about an impulsive or improper act.
