अस्त्रयुद्धे द्रौणिपार्थसंघर्षः — Karṇa’s Bhārgavāstra and the Search for Yudhiṣṭhira
Chapter 45
अद्य तौ पुरुषव्यात्रौ लोहिताक्षौ परंतपौ | वासुदेवार्जुनौ कर्ण द्रष्टास्येकरथे स्थितो
adya tau puruṣavyātrau lohitākṣau paraṃtapau | vāsudevārjunau karṇa draṣṭāsy ekarathe sthito ||
三阇耶说道：“今日啊，迦尔那，你将见到那两位如虎的英雄——赤目如焰，焚灼其敌——婆苏提婆（奎师那）与阿周那，同立于一乘战车之上。”

The verse highlights that in a righteous struggle, sheer martial power is not the only determinant—wise guidance and alignment with higher dharma matter. Arjuna’s strength is presented together with Krishna’s presence, implying that counsel, clarity, and moral orientation can be as decisive as weapons.
Sanjaya addresses Karna, announcing that Karna will now see Krishna (Vasudeva) and Arjuna together on a single chariot—an ominous and climactic sight for their opponents, signaling the approach of a major confrontation where Arjuna fights under Krishna’s charioteership.
