अध्याय २९: कर्णस्य शल्यं प्रति शापस्मरणं च युद्धनिश्चयः | Chapter 29: Karṇa recalls curses to Śalya and declares resolve for battle
जलदनिनदनिःस्वनं रथं पवनविधूतपताककेतनम् । सितहयमुपयान्तमन्तिकं हृतमनसो ददृशुस्तदारय:
jaladaninadaniḥsvanaṁ rathaṁ pavanavidhūtapātākaketanaṁ | sitahayam upayāntam antikaṁ hṛtamanaso dadṛśus tadārayāḥ ||
桑贾亚说：于是敌军心气已夺，望见阿周那的战车逼近——其声沉雄如雨云雷鸣；高高的旗幡与徽记被风卷动翻飞；驾车的白马在前进时熠熠生辉。

The verse highlights the ethical and practical force of steadfast resolve in a dharma-oriented battle: disciplined power and clear purpose can break an unjust opponent’s morale even before direct combat, showing that inner strength and order are decisive factors in war.
Sañjaya describes Arjuna’s chariot advancing toward the enemy with a thunder-like roar; its banner flutters in the wind and white horses draw it forward. Seeing it approach, the opposing warriors become dispirited and lose heart.
