कर्णनिधनवृत्तान्तनिवेदनम् | Reporting Karṇa’s Fall to Yudhiṣṭhira
स दृष्टवा नृपशार्दूलं शार्टूल्समविक्रमम् । हर्षकाले च सम्प्राप्ते किमिदे मोहकारितम्
sa dṛṣṭvā nṛpaśārdūlaṃ śārdūlasamavikramaṃ | harṣakāle ca samprāpte kim idaṃ mohakāritam ||
संजय म्हणाला—मनुष्यांतील व्याघ्र, व्याघ्रसमान पराक्रमी नृपश्रेष्ठ युधिष्ठिराला निरोगी पाहून, जेव्हा तुझ्यासाठी आनंदाचा काळ आला आहे, तेव्हा हा मोहजन्य कोणता कृत्यप्रयत्न आहे?

Educational Q&A
Even in war, one should recognize rightful occasions for relief and gratitude; acting from moha (confusion, grief, or misjudgment) at such a moment leads to ethically unsound decisions and needless harm.
Sañjaya, narrating events, points out that Yudhiṣṭhira is safe and strong—an occasion that should bring joy—yet he senses an impending, delusion-driven decision and questions what misguided action is about to occur.
