अध्याय २९: कर्णस्य शल्यं प्रति शापस्मरणं च युद्धनिश्चयः | Chapter 29: Karṇa recalls curses to Śalya and declares resolve for battle

三阇耶说道：大王啊，日暮将临、俱卢军既已退却，般度族亦得其利，心气昂扬而归营。其间诸乐器之声纷杂，狮吼般的呼号与雷霆般的呐喊交作；他们讥笑敌军退走，称颂阿周那与不堕者克里希纳（阿周陀），并申明胜利之所以长存，不唯凭武力，更赖坚毅的统御与同心的忠诚。

The verse highlights how collective morale and devotion to righteous leadership shape the ethical tone of victory: the Pāṇḍavas celebrate not merely by boasting of force, but by acknowledging Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna as guiding centers of resolve, implying that success in conflict is stabilized by unity, discipline, and reverence for worthy leadership.
At day’s end, the Kauravas withdraw from the battlefield. The Pāṇḍavas, having gained the upper hand, return to their camp in high spirits, sounding instruments and shouting triumphant cries, mocking the enemy and praising Kṛṣṇa (Acyuta) and Arjuna.
