कृष्णोपदेशः, अर्जुनस्य क्षमा-याचनम्, कर्णवध-अनुज्ञा
Krishna’s Counsel, Arjuna’s Apology, and Authorization for Karṇa’s Slaying
कर्मत: शीलतो वापि स तच्छावयते युधि । रणभूमिमें जिसकी जो कुछ पिता-माता, कर्म अथवा शील-स्वभावके कारण विशेषता थी, वह युद्धस्थलमें उसको सुनाता था
karmataḥ śīlato vāpi sa tac chāvayate yudhi |
သဉ္ဇယက ပြောသည်– စစ်ပွဲအလယ်၌ သူသည် ထိုအရာကို အသံကျယ်ကျယ် ကြေညာလေ၏—လုပ်ရပ်ကြောင့်ဖြစ်စေ၊ သဘောသဘာဝနှင့် အကျင့်အကြံကြောင့်ဖြစ်စေ။ လူတစ်ယောက်က မိဘနှစ်ပါးထံမှ အမွေဆက်ခံထားသော ထူးခြားသည့် ဂုဏ်ရည်ရှိသမျှကို စစ်မြေပြင်ပေါ်တွင် ထုတ်ဖော်ပြောကြားလေ၏။

Educational Q&A
A warrior’s standing is articulated through both karma (deeds) and śīla (character). Even amid violence, ethical evaluation persists: conduct and earned merit matter, while lineage is invoked as a social and moral frame for judging excellence.
Sañjaya describes how, during the fighting, a figure would publicly announce a warrior’s distinguishing qualities—attributed to parental lineage, personal deeds, or character—so that these merits were heard and recognized on the battlefield.
