कर्णेन युधिष्ठिरानीकविदारणम् / Karṇa’s Breach of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Battle-Line
मम युद्ध प्रयच्छ ध्वं दैत्या युद्धमदोत्कटा: । प्रेषितो देवदेवेन वो निजेतुं महासुरा:,'युद्धके मदसे उन्मत्त रहनेवाले दैत्यो! मुझे युद्ध प्रदान करो। महान् असुरगण! मुझे देवाधिदेव महादेवजीने तुम्हें परास्त करनेके लिये भेजा है”
mama yuddhaṁ prayacchadhvaṁ daityā yuddhamadotkaṭāḥ | preṣito devadevena vo nijetuṁ mahāsurāḥ ||
摩醯首罗说道：“噫，提耶底族！汝等为战斗之狂醉而凶猛——赐我一战！噫，强大的阿修罗众！诸神之神已遣我来，欲使汝等屈服。”此言将相遇定为奉天命而行的对决：以更高的宇宙权威，制衡骄横嗜杀之力。

Unchecked martial pride (yuddha-mada) is portrayed as a destabilizing force; the verse presents divine authority acting to restrain and subdue such arrogance, reaffirming cosmic order (dharma) over mere might.
Maheśvara directly challenges the Daityas/Asuras to fight, declaring that he has been sent by the supreme divine power (Devadeva) specifically to defeat and subdue them.
