Adhyāya 21 — Duryodhanasya bāṇavarṣaḥ
Duryodhana’s Arrow-Storm and the Dust-Obscured Engagements
दुर्योधनस्तु सम्प्रेक्ष्य भग्नं स्वबलमन्तिकात्
duryodhanas tu samprekṣya bhagnaṃ svabalam antikāt
Wika ni Sañjaya: Nang makita niya mula sa malapit na wasak na ang sarili niyang hukbo, hinarap ni Duryodhana ang mabagsik na katotohanan ng pagliko ng digmaan—kung saan ang pagmamataas at ambisyon ay sumasalubong sa bunga ng adharma at maling pamamahala.

Educational Q&A
Power and pride that ignore dharma eventually face visible consequences; a ruler must read reality clearly and accept responsibility for the outcomes of unjust choices.
Sañjaya reports that Duryodhana, observing at close range, sees his own forces broken—marking a decisive deterioration of the Kaurava position in the war.
