कर्णेन युधिष्ठिरानीकविदारणम् / Karṇa’s Breach of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Battle-Line
ते यूयं संहता: सर्वे मदीयेनार्धतेजसा । जयध्वं युधि ताञ्शत्रून् संहता हि महाबला:
te yūyaṃ saṃhatāḥ sarve madīyenārdha-tejasā | jayadhvaṃ yudhi tāñ śatrūn saṃhatā hi mahābalāḥ ||
دُریودھن نے کہا—تم سب متحد ہو کر، میرے آدھے تَیج سے تقویت پا کر، میدانِ جنگ میں اُن دشمنوں کو فتح کرو؛ کیونکہ جو لوگ باہم جُڑ کر لڑتے ہیں وہ حقیقتاً نہایت زورآور ہو جاتے ہیں۔

The verse emphasizes collective strength: unity and coordinated action multiply power in warfare and leadership contexts. Duryodhana frames cohesion as a force-multiplier, urging his side to rely on formation and shared resolve.
In the Karna Parva battle sequence, Duryodhana addresses his warriors to rally them. He urges them to fight together in a compact formation, claiming they will be empowered by a share of his own tejas and thus defeat the opposing forces.
