Adhyāya 35 — Bhīmasena’s Counter-Encirclement and the Karṇa Engagement Escalation
तत: कर्णस्य दुर्धर्ष स्यन्दनप्रवरं महत्
tataḥ karṇasya durdharṣa syandanapravaraṃ mahat
Sinabi ni Sañjaya: Pagkaraan, lumitaw ang dakila at pangunahing karwahe ni Karṇa—isang napakalaking sasakyang nakapanghihilakbot, mahirap salakayin ng mga kaaway—na hudyat ng pagtaas ng lakas sa digmaan at ng pagmamataas sa giting na patuloy na nagtutulak sa labanan pasulong.

The verse highlights how outward power—symbolized by a massive, superior chariot—can intensify conflict and fuel warrior pride; it implicitly invites reflection on the limits of martial might when set against dharma and destiny in the Mahābhārata.
Sañjaya describes the emergence or prominence of Karṇa’s formidable, foremost chariot, marking Karṇa’s readiness and the heightened momentum of the battle scene.
