कर्णेन युधिष्ठिरानीकविदारणम् / Karṇa’s Breach of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Battle-Line
नास्मै हरास्त्राणि दिव्यानि प्रादास्यद् भूगुनन्दन: । भूपाल! यदि कर्णमें कोई पाप या दोष होता तो भृगुनन्दन परशुराम इसे दिव्यास्त्र न देते
nāsmāi harāstrāṇi divyāni prādāsyad bhṛgunandanaḥ | bhūpāla! yadi karṇe pāpaṃ vā doṣo vā bhavet, tarhi bhṛgunandanaḥ paraśurāmaḥ asmai divyāstrāṇi na dadāt |
Duryodhana berkata: “Wahai Raja! Bhṛgunandana (Paraśurāma) tidak akan sekali-kali menganugerahkan senjata-senjata ilahi ini kepadanya jika ada dosa atau cela moral pada diri Karṇa. Hakikat bahawa Paraśurāma mengurniakan senjata-senjata samawi menjadi bukti kelayakan Karṇa.”
दुर्योधन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Moral credibility is argued through the authority of a revered teacher: Duryodhana claims that a strict and discerning guru like Paraśurāma would not grant divine weapons to someone tainted by sin or serious fault, so the gift is presented as evidence of Karṇa’s worthiness.
In the Karṇa Parva context, Duryodhana defends and praises Karṇa before a kingly interlocutor, asserting that Paraśurāma’s bestowal of celestial weapons proves Karṇa’s merit and counters any accusation of दोष (fault) or पाप (sin).
