अस्त्रयुद्धे द्रौणिपार्थसंघर्षः — Karṇa’s Bhārgavāstra and the Search for Yudhiṣṭhira
Chapter 45
व्यधमत् पाण्डवीं सेनामासुरीं मघवानिव । युधिष्ठिरं चाभ्यहनदपसव्यं चकार ह
vyadhamat pāṇḍavīṁ senām āsurīṁ maghavān iva | yudhiṣṭhiraṁ cābhyahanad apasavyaṁ cakāra ha ||
三阇耶说道:如同摩伽梵(因陀罗)驱散阿修罗之众,他击溃了般度军;又击中坚战王(尤提士提罗),迫使其向左回转——不祥之兆。
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights how, in war, even the dharmic side can be driven into distress by sheer martial force and adverse omens; it invites reflection on the fragility of worldly advantage and the ethical strain placed on righteousness amid violence.
Sañjaya reports that the warrior being described routs the Pāṇḍava forces like Indra defeating Asuras, then directly strikes Yudhiṣṭhira and compels him into an apasavya (leftward, inauspicious) movement, signaling a moment of setback and foreboding.
