कर्णपर्व — अध्याय ५९
Arjuna Breaks the Encirclement; Bhīma Reinforces
आर्या युद्धे मतिं कृत्वा प्रत्येहि रथयूथपम् । पज्च होतानि मुख्यानि रथानां रथसत्तम
sañjaya uvāca |
āryā yuddhe matiṁ kṛtvā praty ehi rathayūthapam |
pañca-śatāni mukhyāni rathānāṁ rathasattama |
abhisaṁhatya kaunteya padātiprayutāni ca ||
三阇耶说道：“怀抱高贵的战意，前进吧，去迎击迦尔纳——战车军团之主。噢，车战勇士中的最上者！看哪：五百名最精锐的车战者正逼近——强盛而光耀——结成紧密阵列，噢，军提之子；并且还有大队步兵随之而来。”

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes disciplined resolve and organized action in the face of danger: a ‘noble’ mind fixed on duty (yuddhe matiṁ kṛtvā) and a clear recognition of the enemy’s strength, urging courage without confusion.
Sañjaya reports battlefield developments and urges the addressed Pāṇḍava (Kaunteya) to confront Karṇa, noting that a formidable, well-organized force of five hundred elite chariot-warriors is advancing along with large infantry formations.
