Shloka 11
कृष्णेन अर्जुनस्य प्रोत्साहनम् — Kṛṣṇa’s Exhortation to Arjuna
Prelude to Karṇa’s Slaying
भिन्नानां चोत्तमाड़ानां बाहूनां चोरुभि: सह । कुण्डलानां प्रवृद्धानां भूषणानां च भारत
bhinnānāṁ cottamāṅgānāṁ bāhūnāṁ corubhiḥ saha | kuṇḍalānāṁ pravṛddhānāṁ bhūṣaṇānāṁ ca bhārata ||
三阇耶说道：“噢，婆罗多啊，大地上散落着被斩下的头颅，以及臂膀与大腿，还夹杂着硕大的耳环与诸般饰物。战场显露出无节制的愤怒与争竞所结的惨果——勇武与傲慢同归于无生的碎片，警示人们：由非正法（adharma）驱动的冲突，终将把世间荣华尽化为废墟。”

The verse underscores the impermanence of bodily beauty and worldly adornment: in war driven by adharma, even valor and splendor collapse into destruction, urging reflection on restraint, right conduct, and the cost of hatred.
Sañjaya describes the battlefield to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, emphasizing the horrific scene—severed heads, limbs, and scattered ornaments—conveying the scale and brutality of the fighting in the Karṇa Parva.
