कर्णपर्व — अध्याय ५९
Arjuna Breaks the Encirclement; Bhīma Reinforces
एष नैषादिरश्येति द्विपमुख्येन पाण्डवम्
eṣa naiṣādir aśyeti dvipamukhyena pāṇḍavam
三阇耶说道:“此人乃奈沙陀(Naiṣāda)勇士。”他借那头最为出众的战象作标记,将其指示给般度之子一方。战阵拥挤之中,辨认战士及其坐骑至关重要——既关乎谋略,也关乎道义:锁定已知之敌,而非盲目挥击。
संजय उवाच
Even amid chaos, ethical warfare presumes discernment: knowing whom one confronts and acting with deliberate intent rather than indiscriminate violence. The verse highlights the importance of clear identification in battle, which underlies accountability and restraint.
Sañjaya reports an on-field identification: a fighter described as a Naiṣāda is pointed out to a Pāṇḍava, with reference to a foremost elephant—suggesting the opponent’s position, mount, or the means by which he is being indicated in the melee.
