अस्त्रयुद्धे द्रौणिपार्थसंघर्षः — Karṇa’s Bhārgavāstra and the Search for Yudhiṣṭhira
Chapter 45
अथवा परितोषस्ते वाचोक््त्वा सुमना भव | न स शक्यो युधा जेतुमन्यं कुरु मनोरथम्
athavā paritoṣas te vācoktvā sumanā bhava | na sa śakyo yudhā jetum anyaṃ kuru manoratham ||
沙利耶说道：“若这能使你满足，那就只用言语谈论杀阿周那，让心中自得其乐吧。但事实是，无人能在战斗中击败阿周那。因此，另立他志。”
शल्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
Śalya urges sober realism over self-deception: empty talk may soothe pride, but wise action requires accepting battlefield truth and choosing a feasible strategy rather than clinging to an impossible aim.
In the Karṇa Parva war setting, Śalya addresses Karṇa with sharp counsel, dismissing boastful plans about killing Arjuna and warning that Arjuna cannot be overcome in direct combat, advising Karṇa to adopt another plan.
