Adhyāya 35 — Bhīmasena’s Counter-Encirclement and the Karṇa Engagement Escalation
शल्य उवाच सूतपुत्र कथं नु त्वं पाण्डवानवमन्यसे,शल्यने कहा--सूतपुत्र! तुम पाण्डवोंकी अवहेलना कैसे करते हो। वे सब-के-सब तो सम्पूर्ण अस्त्रोंके ज्ञाता, महाधनुर्धर, महाबलवान, युद्धसे पीछे न हटनेवाले, अजेय तथा सत्यपराक्रमी हैं
śalya uvāca | sūtaputra kathaṁ nu tvaṁ pāṇḍavān avamanyase |
沙利耶说道：“车夫之子啊，你怎能轻蔑般度五子？”他们个个通晓诸般兵器，皆为神弓巨射，力大无穷，临阵不退，难以战胜，并以真实的勇武而著称。
शल्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
Do not underestimate or despise a capable opponent; arrogance clouds judgment and violates prudent, dharmic conduct in war. True strength includes discernment and respect for proven valor.
Śalya addresses Karṇa, challenging his dismissive attitude toward the Pāṇḍavas and warning that they are formidable warriors—skilled in weapons, powerful, steadfast, and hard to defeat.
