Shloka 50
ततः: कृष्ण: पार्थमुवाच संख्ये महोरगं कृतवैरं जहि त्वम्
tataḥ kṛṣṇaḥ pārtham uvāca saṅkhye mahā-uragaṃ kṛta-vairaṃ jahi tvam | tadā bhagavān śrīkṛṣṇo yuddha-sthale arjunam uvāca—“eṣa mahān nāgaḥ tava vairī; enaṃ jahi” | bhagavatā madhusūdanena evaṃ ukte śatru-balānāṃ samīkṣakaḥ gāṇḍīva-dhārī arjunaḥ papraccha—“prabho, adya mama samīpam āgataḥ ayaṃ nāgaḥ kaḥ? yaḥ svayam eva garuḍa-mukhaṃ praviṣṭa iva”
随即在鏖战之中，奎师那对阿周那说道：“斩杀这条巨蛇吧；它已成你誓不两立之敌。” 摩杜苏陀那如此一言，执持甘狄瓦、能抗敌军之威的阿周那便问：“主啊，今日逼近我的这条蛇是谁？竟仿佛自投迦楼罗之口一般。”

Educational Q&A
In a dharmic battle, discernment and timely action are essential: Krishna urges Arjuna to recognize a hostile force and neutralize it without hesitation, while Arjuna’s question shows that even in urgency one should seek clarity about the nature and motive of what confronts them.
On the battlefield, Krishna points out a great serpent as Arjuna’s enemy and tells him to kill it. Arjuna, surprised, asks who this serpent is—remarking that it seems to have come straight into danger, like a serpent entering Garuda’s mouth.
