धृतराष्ट्र-संजय-संवादः — दुर्योधनस्य ह्रदप्रवेशः
Dhṛtarāṣṭra–Saṃjaya Dialogue: Duryodhana’s Entry into the Lake
रथेन काज्चनाड्रेन सहदेव: समभ्ययात् । नरेश्वर! शकुनिको अपना अवशिष्ट भाग मानकर सहदेवने सुवर्णमय अंगोंवाले रथके द्वारा उसका पीछा किया
rathena kāñcanāḍhyena sahadevaḥ samabhyayāt | nareśvara! śakuniko 'pana avaśiṣṭa-bhāgaṃ mānayan sahadevena suvarṇamaya-aṅgair rathena tasya pṛṣṭhato 'nuyātaḥ |
三阇耶说道：大王啊，萨诃提婆乘一辆以黄金华饰的战车向前推进。将首婆罗之子（沙昆尼）视作自己在这场战争清算中尚余的一份，萨诃提婆驾着车体诸部皆以黄金铸就的战车紧紧追逼——以审慎而坚决的意志推进战斗，要在战争的道义迫切之中，使那狡诈的煽动者付出代价。

Educational Q&A
Even amid the chaos of war, moral accountability is emphasized: Sahadeva’s pursuit frames Śakuni—seen as a chief agent of deceit and adharma—as someone who must be confronted and answered for his actions, aligning personal valor with the ethical demand to restrain wrongdoing.
Sañjaya reports to the king that Sahadeva advances in a richly gold-adorned chariot and follows Śakuni closely, treating him as the remaining opponent he must face—signaling an imminent direct engagement.
