Kuntī–Karṇa Saṃvāda: Lineage Disclosure and Appeal to Fraternal Dharma
जयद्रथस्य कर्णस्य तथा दुःशासनस्यथ च । सौबलस्य च दुर्बुद्धा मिथो भेद: प्रपत्स्यते
jayadrathasya karṇasya tathā duḥśāsanasya tha ca | saubalasya ca durbuddhā mitho bhedaḥ prapatsyate ||
Vaiśaṃpāyana berkata: Dalam kalangan orang yang buruk pertimbangan—Jayadratha, Karṇa, Duḥśāsana dan Śakuni—akan timbul perpecahan sesama mereka. Dalam suasana moral Udyoga Parva, ini menubuatkan bahawa adharma, didorong oleh keangkuhan dan siasat yang bengkok, akan memalingkan sekutu terhadap satu sama lain dan mempercepat kebinasaan bahkan sebelum senjata perang diangkat.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Unrighteous counsel (durbuddhi) corrodes solidarity: when ambition and deceit guide decisions, even powerful allies fracture from within, making downfall a moral and practical inevitability.
Vaiśaṃpāyana foreshadows internal discord among key Kaurava-aligned figures—Jayadratha, Karṇa, Duḥśāsana, and Śakuni—indicating that their coalition, built on adharma and manipulation, will not remain stable.
