Shloka 67
कर्णनिधनवृत्तान्तनिवेदनम् | Reporting Karṇa’s Fall to Yudhiṣṭhira
अर्जुन उवाच यथा ब्रूयान्महाप्राज्ञो यथा ब्रूयान्महामति:
arjuna uvāca | yathā brūyān mahāprājño yathā brūyān mahāmatiḥ ||
അർജുനൻ പറഞ്ഞു—മഹാപ്രാജ്ഞൻ യഥോചിതമായി എങ്ങനെ പറയേണ്ടതോ അങ്ങനെ പറയട്ടെ; മഹാമതിയും യഥോചിതമായി എങ്ങനെ പറയേണ്ടതോ അങ്ങനെ പറയട്ടെ.
अर्जुन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes disciplined, appropriate speech: wisdom and greatness of mind are shown not merely by knowing, but by speaking in the right manner—truthfully, fittingly, and with ethical restraint, especially amid the pressures of war.
In the Karṇa Parva battle context, Arjuna begins a statement by invoking the authority of the truly wise, urging that what follows should be spoken properly—framing his words as a request for principled counsel or a standard of correct utterance in a tense martial situation.
