Shloka 102
ततः कृष्णोडर्जुनं दृष्टवा कर्णास्त्रेण च पीडितम् | अभ्यसेत्यब्रवीत् पार्थमातिष्ठास्त्रं ब्रजेति च
tataḥ kṛṣṇo ’rjunaṃ dṛṣṭvā karṇāstreṇa ca pīḍitam | abhyasetya bravīt pārtham ātiṣṭhāstraṃ brajeti ca |
سنجے نے کہا—تب شری کرشن نے ارجن کو کرن کے استر سے دباؤ میں دیکھ کر قریب آ کر پارتھ سے کہا—“ڈٹے رہو؛ لگاتار استر چلاتے رہو۔ برتر استروں کو اختیار کرو اور آگے بڑھو۔”

When overwhelmed by a powerful threat, one should not collapse into fear or confusion; instead, remain steady, employ the right means with discernment, and act decisively under wise guidance. Kṛṣṇa’s exhortation emphasizes disciplined effort and strategic use of one’s best resources in the service of duty.
In the Karṇa Parva battle sequence, Arjuna is being severely pressured by Karṇa’s weapon. Seeing this, Kṛṣṇa urges Arjuna to keep up the counterattack, use superior astras, and advance rather than retreat, reinforcing momentum and resolve in the duel.
