Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 3 — Sātyaki on Inner Disposition, Legitimacy, and Coercive Readiness
कर्ण चैव निहत्याजावभिषेक्ष्याम पाण्डवम् | हमलोग शकुनिसहित धृतराष्ट्रपुत्र दुर्योधनको तथा कर्णको भी युद्धमें मारकर पाण्डुनन्दन युधिष्ठिरका राज्याभिषेक करेंगे
karṇaṃ caiva nihatya ājau abhiṣekṣyāma pāṇḍavam | śakuni-sahitaṃ dhṛtarāṣṭra-putraṃ duryodhanaṃ tathā karṇaṃ ca yuddhe mārayitvā pāṇḍu-nandanaṃ yudhiṣṭhiram rājye ’bhiṣiñcayiṣyāmaḥ ||
Вайшампаяна сказал: «Сразив Карну в битве, мы совершим помазание Пандавы. И, убив на войне также Дурьодхану, сына Дхритараштры, вместе с Шакуни — и Карну тоже, — мы возведём на престол Юдхиштхиру, возлюбленного сына Панду.»

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes the restoration of rightful rule as a dharmic goal: removing leaders seen as sustaining adharma (Duryodhana with Śakuni and Karṇa) and installing Yudhiṣṭhira, whose kingship symbolizes moral and political order.
Vaiśampāyana reports a resolve/forecast tied to the coming Kurukṣetra war: the defeat and death of key Kaurava-aligned figures (Duryodhana, Śakuni, Karṇa) culminating in Yudhiṣṭhira’s consecration as king.
