कर्णेन युधिष्ठिरानीकविदारणम् / Karṇa’s Breach of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Battle-Line
स शोभमानो वरद: खड्गी बाणी शरासनी
sa śobhamāno varadaḥ khaḍgī bāṇī śarāsanī
ସେ ଦୀପ୍ତିମାନ ଓ ବରଦାତା, ଖଡ୍ଗଧାରୀ, ବାଣସହିତ ଏବଂ ଧନୁଷ୍ୟଧାରୀ ହୋଇ ସଜ୍ଜ ହୋଇ ଦଢ଼ିଥିଲେ।
पितामह उवाच
Martial power is portrayed as complete preparedness—sword, arrows, and bow—yet framed by the epithet “varadaḥ” (boon-giver), suggesting that strength ideally serves protection and rightful purpose rather than mere violence.
Bhīṣma (addressed as “Pitāmaha”) describes a figure who appears radiant and fully armed, emphasizing the warrior’s formidable presence and readiness within the unfolding battle context of the Karṇa Parva.
