अस्त्रयुद्धे द्रौणिपार्थसंघर्षः — Karṇa’s Bhārgavāstra and the Search for Yudhiṣṭhira
Chapter 45
पश्य यूथैर्बहुविधैर्मुगाणां सर्वतोदिशम्,इति श्रीमहाभारते कर्णपर्वणि कर्णशल्यसंवादे षट्चत्वारिंशोडध्याय:
sañjaya uvāca | paśya yūthair bahuvidhair mugāṇāṃ sarvato diśam | iti śrīmahābhārate karṇaparvaṇi karṇaśalya-saṃvāde ṣaṭcatvāriṃśo 'dhyāyaḥ ||
三阇耶说道：“看吧——四面八方、诸方之中，尽是种种迷惘失措的群类，成群结队。”至此，《摩诃婆罗多》迦尔那篇中迦尔那与沙利耶对话的第四十六章告终——此语点明：战争与迷妄使混乱遍布一切处所，令众生沦为无助的群行之态，而非作出清明的道德抉择。

Educational Q&A
The line highlights how confusion and moral disorientation can become widespread—especially amid war—so that beings move like herds, driven by fear and impulse rather than discernment (viveka).
Sanjaya, narrating events, calls attention to a scene where many groups of bewildered beings are visible in every direction; the verse also functions as a closing colophon marker for the chapter within the Karna–Shalya dialogue section.
