沙利耶说道：“你当与众将士同立，在严整布列的战阵护卫之下，与檀那阇耶（阿周那）交战。若你欲得真正的利益与善果（śreyas），便当在这般纪律森严的护持中与他决斗。”

Educational Q&A
Śalya emphasizes disciplined action: if one seeks śreyas (true welfare/higher good), one should act with proper preparation, protection, and order—here, fighting Arjuna while supported by a well-arranged formation rather than relying on reckless individual valor.
In the Karṇa Parva battle context, Śalya addresses his side’s warrior (implicitly Karṇa) and urges him to confront Arjuna (Dhanañjaya) while staying safeguarded within a properly deployed army formation, highlighting tactical prudence amid the duel-driven warfare.
