कर्णेन युधिष्ठिरानीकविदारणम् / Karṇa’s Breach of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Battle-Line
याहि देव यतो दैत्याश्षोदयाश्वानतन्द्रित: । पश्य बाह्ोर्बलं मेडद्य निध्नतः शात्रवान् रणे
yāhi deva yato daityāḥ śodayāśvān atandritaḥ | paśya bāhor balaṁ medady nidhnataḥ śātravān raṇe ||
پِتامہ نے کہا—“اے دیو! جدھر دَیتیہ ہیں اُدھر ہی چلو، اور بے سستی کے گھوڑوں کو تیز ہانکو۔ آج رَن میں جب میں دشمن کی فوج کا قلع قمع کروں گا، تب تم میری اِن دونوں بازوؤں کی قوت دیکھو گے۔”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the warrior ethic of vigilance and resolute action: a leader must direct allies clearly, remain alert, and accept responsibility for confronting hostile forces with disciplined courage.
Bhīṣma addresses his charioteer/companion, ordering him to steer toward the enemy (called Daityas here), to drive the horses attentively, and to witness Bhīṣma’s arm-strength as he prepares to cut down the opposing troops in battle.
