Shloka 816
सर्वे ह्मन्यन्त वशे कृतौ तौ कर्णेन कृष्णाविति ते विमर्दे फिर तो आपके सैनिक कर्णकी बड़ी भारी विजय मानकर ताली पीटने और सिंहनाद करने लगे। उन सबने यह समझ लिया कि “इस युद्धमें श्रीकृष्ण और अर्जुन कर्णके वशमें हो गये”
sarve hy manyanta vaśe kṛtau tau karṇena kṛṣṇāv iti te vimarde |
三阇耶说道：在那场凶烈的冲突中，众战士都以为克里希纳与阿周那已被迦尔纳所制。将迦尔纳一时的上风误作大胜，军士们击掌欢呼，发出狮子般的吼声——显露出战争之中，人心何其容易把转瞬的战局变化当作最终的凯旋。

The verse highlights how, in war, collective judgment is easily swayed by immediate appearances: a temporary tactical edge is taken as decisive victory. Ethically, it cautions against pride and premature conclusions, reminding that dharma and outcomes cannot be measured by momentary turns alone.
Sañjaya reports that during a fierce exchange, the soldiers interpret Karṇa’s advantage as if he has subdued both Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna. Encouraged by this belief, they celebrate loudly—clapping and roaring—treating the moment as a major success for Karṇa’s side.
