Kuntī–Karṇa Saṃvāda: Lineage Disclosure and Appeal to Fraternal Dharma
मोहानुवर्ती सतत पापो द्वेष्टि च पाण्डवान् | “परंतु यह एकमात्र मिथ्यादर्शी कर्ण मोहवश सदा दुर्बुद्धि दुर्योधनका ही अनुसरण करनेवाला है। इसीलिये यह पापात्मा सर्वदा पाण्डवोंसे द्वेष ही रखता है
mohānuvartī satataṁ pāpo dveṣṭi ca pāṇḍavān |
Вайшампаяна сказал: «Но Карна, тот грешный человек, всегда ведомый мохой (омрачением, заблуждением), непрестанно следует пути глупости и держится Дурьодханы, чьё разумение порочно. Потому этот грешник вечно питает ненависть к Пандавам.»
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Persistent delusion (moha) makes a person cling to misguided allegiance and results in entrenched malice (dveṣa) against the righteous; moral clarity is necessary to prevent hatred from becoming one’s nature.
Vaiśampāyana characterizes the opposing party’s stance by describing a figure who, under delusion, continually follows a wrongful course and therefore maintains hostility toward the Pāṇḍavas—framing the conflict as rooted in moral error and animosity.
