Shloka 39
कर्णपर्व — अध्याय ५९
Arjuna Breaks the Encirclement; Bhīma Reinforces
तथा कुरुत संयत्ता वयं यास्याम पृष्ठत: । “कौरवो! तुम्हारा कल्याण हो। दौड़ो और वेगपूर्वक धावा करो। आज युद्धस्थलमें कोई सूंजय तुम्हारे हाथसे जिस प्रकार भी जीवित न छूटने पावे, सावधान होकर वैसा ही प्रयत्न करो। हम सब लोग तुम्हारे पीछे-पीछे चलेंगे” ।।
sañjaya uvāca | tathā kuruta saṁyattā vayaṁ yāsyāma pṛṣṭhataḥ | evam uktvā gato hoṣa pṛṣṭhato vikiran śarān |
三阇耶说道：“就如此行——整备待战；我们将从你们身后推进。”言毕，迦尔纳自后阵而去，散射如雨之箭。噢，帕尔塔，且看战场上的迦尔纳，白色王伞之下光彩夺目；他宛如东方之山，被初升之月所装点——威严壮丽，却又笼罩在战争冷峻的决意之中。

Educational Q&A
The passage highlights kṣatriya discipline and the ethics of coordinated action in war: leaders issue clear commands, warriors maintain readiness, and the army advances in ordered support. It also juxtaposes outward splendor (the white parasol, moonlike imagery) with the harsh moral gravity of battle.
Sañjaya reports that Karṇa urges the Kaurava forces to charge while he and others follow from behind. Karṇa then moves at the rear, covering the advance by raining arrows. Arjuna is invited to observe Karṇa’s imposing presence under a white parasol, likened to the eastern mountain beautified by the rising moon.
