Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 3 — Sātyaki on Inner Disposition, Legitimacy, and Coercive Readiness
कर्ण चैव निहत्याजावभिषेक्ष्याम पाण्डवम् | हमलोग शकुनिसहित धृतराष्ट्रपुत्र दुर्योधनको तथा कर्णको भी युद्धमें मारकर पाण्डुनन्दन युधिष्ठिरका राज्याभिषेक करेंगे
karṇaṃ caiva nihatya ājau abhiṣekṣyāma pāṇḍavam | śakuni-sahitaṃ dhṛtarāṣṭra-putraṃ duryodhanaṃ tathā karṇaṃ ca yuddhe mārayitvā pāṇḍu-nandanaṃ yudhiṣṭhiram rājye ’bhiṣiñcayiṣyāmaḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana nói: “Sau khi giết Karṇa trong trận chiến, chúng ta sẽ làm lễ đăng quang cho Pāṇḍava. Khi đã hạ Duryodhana, con của Dhṛtarāṣṭra, cùng với Śakuni—và cả Karṇa nữa—trong cuộc chiến, chúng ta sẽ tôn lập Yudhiṣṭhira, người con yêu dấu của Pāṇḍu, lên ngôi.”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes the restoration of rightful rule as a dharmic goal: removing leaders seen as sustaining adharma (Duryodhana with Śakuni and Karṇa) and installing Yudhiṣṭhira, whose kingship symbolizes moral and political order.
Vaiśampāyana reports a resolve/forecast tied to the coming Kurukṣetra war: the defeat and death of key Kaurava-aligned figures (Duryodhana, Śakuni, Karṇa) culminating in Yudhiṣṭhira’s consecration as king.
