अध्याय २९: कर्णस्य शल्यं प्रति शापस्मरणं च युद्धनिश्चयः | Chapter 29: Karṇa recalls curses to Śalya and declares resolve for battle
अथ तव नरदेव सैनिका- स््तव च सुता: सुरसूनुसंनिभा: । अमितबलपुर:सरा रणे कुरुवृषभा: शिनिपौत्रमभ्ययु:
atha tava naradeva sainikās tava ca sutāḥ surasūnusaṃnibhāḥ | amitabalapuraḥsarā raṇe kuruvṛṣabhāḥ śinipautram abhyayuḥ ||
三阇耶说道：于是，大王啊，你的军士与你的诸子——光辉如天神之子——一齐推进战阵。由力不可量的勇士为前驱，那些库鲁族中的“雄牛”冲向了尸尼之孙。此偈写出战争的势头：对血统与武力的骄矜驱使着冲锋，纵然骨肉相残的道德重压仍笼罩战场。

The verse highlights how martial pride—strength, lineage, and leadership—can propel men into violence. Ethically, it points to the tragic momentum of war: even ‘godlike’ princes and mighty leaders rush forward, while the deeper dharmic cost of attacking kin and allies remains implicit.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the Kaurava troops and Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s sons, led by very powerful warriors, advance in the battle and charge against Śini’s descendant—Sātyaki.
