कर्णेन युधिष्ठिरानीकविदारणम् / Karṇa’s Breach of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Battle-Line
प्रयाते रथमास्थाय त्रिपुराभिमुखे भवे । ननाद सुमहानादं वृषभ: पूरयन् दिश:
prayāte rathamāsthāya tripurābhimukhe bhave | nanāda sumahānādaṃ vṛṣabhaḥ pūrayan diśaḥ ||
جب بھَوَ (مہادیو) رتھ پر سوار ہو کر تری پورہ کی سمت روانہ ہوئے، تب اُن کے بیل نندی نے تمام سمتوں کو گونجانے والا نہایت عظیم شیرنعرہ بلند کیا۔

The verse highlights the divine resolve to confront and remove adharma: Śiva’s purposeful departure and Nandin’s world-filling roar symbolize the restoration of cosmic order and the assurance that unrighteous power (Tripura) will be checked.
Bhīṣma describes Śiva (Bhava) setting out on his chariot toward Tripura; at that moment Nandin, Śiva’s bull, roars mightily, making the quarters resound as a dramatic sign of the impending divine assault.
