Śalya Appointed as Karṇa’s Sārathi; Discourse on Praise, Blame, and Beneficial Counsel (कर्णस्य शल्यसारथ्यं तथा स्तवनिन्दाविचारः)
यतो भीमो महेष्वासो युयुधे तव सैनिकै: । महाराज! तब सारथि घोड़ोंको तेजीसे हाँकता हुआ उसी ओर चल दिया जहाँ महाधनुर्धर भीमसेन आपके सैनिकोंके साथ युद्ध कर रहे थे
yato bhīmo maheṣvāso yuyudhe tava sainikaiḥ | mahārāja! tataḥ sārathiḥ ghoḍān tejasā hāṅkatā huā tām eva diśaṃ jagāma yatra mahādhanurdharaḥ bhīmasenaḥ tava sainikaiḥ saha yuddhaṃ kurvan āsīt |
Wika ni Sañjaya: “O Hari, nang makita kung saan si Bhīma, ang makapangyarihang mamamana, ay nakikipaglaban sa iyong mga kawal, agad na pinatakbo ng kutsero ang mga kabayo nang ubod-bilis sa mismong direksiyong iyon—patungo sa pook na kinaroroonan ni Bhīmasena, ang dakilang mamamana, na nakikipagdigma sa iyong mga sundalo.”

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores the immediacy and momentum of battlefield duty: when a decisive warrior is engaged, commanders and attendants respond swiftly. Ethically, it reflects the kṣatriya context where action, coordination, and resolve are treated as obligations within war.
Sañjaya reports to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the charioteer quickly drives the horses toward the spot where Bhīma, famed as a great archer, is fighting against the king’s soldiers.
