Shloka 47
अनेन सत्येन निहन्त्वयं शर: सुसंहित: कर्णमरिं ममोर्जितम् । इत्यूचिवांस्तं प्रमुमोच बाणं धनंजय: कर्णवधाय घोरम्
anena satyena nihantv ayaṁ śaraḥ susaṁhitaḥ karṇam ariṁ mamorjitam | ity ūcivāṁs taṁ pramumoca bāṇaṁ dhanaṁjayaḥ karṇavadhāya ghoram ||
三阇耶说道：“凭此真实之力，愿这支安置稳固的箭矢击杀迦尔那——我强大的仇敌。”言毕，檀那ंज耶（阿周那）为诛迦尔那而放出那可怖之箭。此偈并非将杀戮描绘为单纯的怒火，而是以庄严的“萨提亚”（satya，真实）之宣誓为印，召唤真理的道德威力，置于战争残酷必然之中。

The verse highlights satya as a moral and spiritual force: a warrior’s action is presented as being sealed by a truthful resolve. Even in warfare, the text underscores that intention and adherence to truth are ethically weighty, shaping how violence is framed within dharma.
Sañjaya narrates that Arjuna, declaring a truth-formula, releases a carefully aimed and fearsome arrow with the explicit purpose of killing Karṇa, his powerful enemy. It marks the decisive moment of Karṇa’s impending death.
