Karṇa-vadha-pratyaya: Yudhiṣṭhira’s Verification of Karṇa’s Fall (कर्णवध-प्रत्ययः)
कबूतरके समान रंगवाले घोड़ोंसे युक्त और चन्द्रमा तथा सूर्यके समान तेजस्वी धनुर्धर वीर द्रुपदकुमार धृष्टद्युम्न वहाँ मूर्तिमान् कालके समान जान पड़ते थे ।।

पार्षतं जुगुपुः सर्वे द्रौपदेया युयुत्सवः । दिव्यवर्मायुधधरा: शार्दूलसमविक्रमा: ॥

Educational Q&A
Even amid violent conflict, the epic highlights ordered duty and loyalty: warriors protect their leader and uphold their chosen cause through disciplined solidarity, courage, and readiness to sacrifice.
Sañjaya describes the Draupadeyas, battle-eager and powerfully armed, forming a protective guard around Dhṛṣṭadyumna (Drupada’s son), emphasizing their coordinated defence and fierce momentum in the Kurukṣetra war.
