Shloka 7
त्वमेव कर्ण जानासि वेदवादान् सनातनान् । त्वमेव धर्मशास्त्रेषु सूक्ष्मेषु परिनिष्ठित:,कर्ण! सनातन वैदिक सिद्धान्त क्या है? इसे तुम अच्छी तरह जानते हो। धर्मशास्त्रोंके सूक्ष्म विषयोंके भी तुम परिनिष्ठित विद्वान् हो
tvam eva karṇa jānāsi vedavādān sanātanān | tvam eva dharmaśāstreṣu sūkṣmeṣu pariniṣṭhitaḥ, karṇa |
Vāyu disse: “Só tu, ó Karṇa, conheces de fato as doutrinas eternas proclamadas nos Vedas. Só tu estás firmemente consumado nos ensinamentos sutis dos Dharmaśāstras. Por isso, és capaz de discernir o que é correto mesmo quando o dever se torna intricado e contestado.”

Educational Q&A
Scriptural knowledge is presented as a qualification for ethical discernment: one who understands the eternal Vedic doctrines and the subtle reasoning of Dharmaśāstra is expected to judge duty correctly, especially when moral questions are complex.
Vāyu addresses Karna directly, praising his mastery of Vedic teachings and his firm grounding in the subtle points of Dharmaśāstra, positioning him as someone capable of understanding and deciding matters of dharma in the tense pre-war context of the Udyoga Parva.
