Wika ni Sañjaya: “Si Haring Śalya, panginoon ng lupain ng Madra, na nakaupo sa unahan ng karwahe, ang siyang pumipigil at gumagabay sa mga kabayo ni Rādheya (Karna), mandirigmang may lakas na di masukat.”

Educational Q&A
Even in violent conflict, effectiveness depends on restraint and disciplined control; the verse highlights the ethical and practical necessity of mastery over powerful forces (here, the horses), and the complexity of performing one’s role within an alliance.
Sañjaya describes Śalya, king of Madra, seated at the front of Karna’s chariot, actively controlling Karna’s horses—indicating Śalya’s role as charioteer and the immediate preparation/management of the chariot in the midst of battle.
