Irāvān-nidhana-anantaraṃ Ghaṭotkaca-nādaḥ
After Irāvān’s fall: Ghaṭotkaca’s roar and the clash with Duryodhana
एवमुक्त: स वार्ष्णेय: कौन्तेयेनामितौजसा । रथं श्वेतहयैर्युक्ते प्रेषयामास संयुगे
evam uktaḥ sa vārṣṇeyaḥ kaunteyenāmitaujasā | rathaṁ śvetahayairyukte preṣayāmāsa saṁyuge ||
三阇耶说道：昆蒂之子阿周那，威力无量，如此吩咐之后，瓦尔什涅耶·奎师那便驱使那辆套着白马的战车，在战阵中向前推进。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic action through coordinated roles: Arjuna’s purposeful command and Kṛṣṇa’s composed execution. Ethical force here is disciplined engagement—acting decisively in one’s duty while relying on wise guidance to translate intent into right action amid conflict.
After Arjuna speaks, Kṛṣṇa—identified as Vārṣṇeya—orders the chariot harnessed with white horses to advance into the battle. It is a transition from deliberation and instruction to immediate movement into combat.
