Karṇa-parva Adhyāya 58 — Arjuna’s Arrow-Storm and Relief of Bhīmasena

ऑपनआक्रात बछ। अड्-क्ाज एकोनषष्टितमो< ध्याय: धृष्टदुम्न और 55

sañjaya uvāca | tataḥ punaḥ samājagmurbhītāḥ kuru-sṛñjayāḥ | yudhiṣṭhira-mukhāḥ pārthāḥ sūta-putra-mukhā vayam |

Sañjaya nói: Rồi nữa, tâu Đại vương, quân Kuru và Sṛñjaya—không hề nao núng—lại áp sát giao chiến. Một bên là con cháu Pāṇḍu do Yudhiṣṭhira dẫn đầu; bên kia là chúng ta, dưới ngọn cờ của Karṇa, người con của kẻ đánh xe. Thế là trận chiến bùng lên lần nữa, lòng ai nấy kiên quyết, mỗi đạo quân tụ về quanh vị dũng tướng của mình.

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights the kṣatriya ideal of steadfastness: armies rally around their leaders and re-enter conflict without fear. Ethically, it underscores how collective resolve and loyalty to one’s side can intensify war, reminding readers that leadership and allegiance shape the moral and practical course of battle.

After a prior phase of fighting, the two coalitions regroup and clash again. The Pāṇḍavas are described as led by Yudhiṣṭhira, while the Kaurava side is described as led by Karṇa, marking the renewed engagement and the alignment of forces around their principal commanders.
