Karna Reforms the Host and Multiple Duels Converge
न च केन च धर्मेण विरुध्यन्ते प्रजा इमा: । सर्व हि तेडब्रुवन् धर्म यदुक्त वेदपारगै:,“इन सब देशोंके लोग किसी भी निमित्तसे धर्मके विरुद्ध नहीं जाते। वेदोंके पारगामी विद्वानोंने जैसा बताया है, उसी रूपमें वे लोग सम्पूर्ण धर्मको मानते और बतलाते हैं
na ca kena ca dharmeṇa virudhyante prajā imāḥ | sarvaṃ hi te ’bruvan dharmaṃ yad uktaṃ vedapāragaiḥ ||
Karna berkata: “Dan bangsa-bangsa ini tidak, atas apa jua sebab, bertindak menentang dharma. Sesungguhnya, mereka mengisytiharkan serta memelihara keseluruhan dharma tepat sebagaimana telah dinyatakan oleh para sarjana yang menguasai Veda.”
कर्ण उवाच
Educational Q&A
Dharma is presented as a shared, publicly affirmed standard: communities remain aligned with it, and its authoritative formulation is traced to Veda-masters (vedapāragāḥ).
Karna is describing the conduct of various peoples/subjects, emphasizing that they do not deviate from dharma and that their understanding of dharma follows what learned authorities of the Vedas have taught.
