कर्ण–कृष्णसंवादः (Karṇa–Kṛṣṇa-saṃvādaḥ) — Karṇa’s Statement on Lineage, Loyalty, and the ‘Śastra-yajña’ Metaphor
मित्राणि ते प्रह्ृष्यन्तु व्यथन्तु रिपवस्तथा । सौक्षात्रं चैव तेउ्द्यास्तु भ्रातृभि: सह पाण्डवै:
mitrāṇi te prahṛṣyantu vyathantu ripavas tathā | saukṣātraṃ caiva te 'dyāstu bhrātṛbhiḥ saha pāṇḍavaiḥ ||
ତୁମ ମିତ୍ରମାନେ ହର୍ଷିତ ହେଉନ୍ତୁ, ଏବଂ ଶତ୍ରୁମାନେ ସେହିପରି ବ୍ୟଥିତ ହେଉନ୍ତୁ। ହେ କର୍ଣ୍ଣ! ଆଜିଠାରୁ ପାଣ୍ଡବ ଭାଇମାନଙ୍କ ସହ ତୁମର ସତ୍ୟ ବନ୍ଧୁତ୍ୱ ଓ ସଦ୍ଭାବର ବନ୍ଧନ ହେଉ।

Educational Q&A
The verse urges a shift from hostility to rightful kinship: ethical strength lies in restoring fraternal bonds and aligning oneself with dharma so that goodwill grows among allies and the power of enmity diminishes.
Vāyudeva addresses Karṇa with a benediction and an exhortation: he blesses Karṇa’s friends with joy and his enemies with discomfiture, while urging Karṇa to adopt, from that day onward, a sincere brotherly relationship with the Pāṇḍavas.
