Śānti-parva Adhyāya 3: Karṇa’s training under Rāma Jāmadagnya and the Bhārgava restriction on the Brahmāstra
अन्यत्र वधकालात् ते सदृशेन समीयुष: । 'मूढ़! तूने ब्रह्मास्त्रके लोभसे झूठ बोलकर यहाँ मेरे साथ मिथ्याचार (कपटपूर्ण व्यवहार) किया है
anyatra vadhakālāt te sadṛśena samīyuṣaḥ | mūḍha tvaṁ brahmāstrake lobhase jhūṭhaṁ bolakara iha mayā saha mithyācāraḥ (kapaṭapūrṇa-vyavahāraḥ) kṛtaḥ | tasmāt yāvat tvaṁ saṅgrāme svasadṛśena yoddhunā na bhiḍyase na ca te mṛtyukālaḥ sannikaṭo bhaviṣyati tāvat te ’sya brahmāstrasya smaraṇaṁ sthāsyati ||
那罗陀说道：“除非到了你命终之时——当你遭遇与自己相等的对手——否则你绝不能摆脱它。愚人啊！你贪恋梵天神箭（Brahmāstra），以谎言相欺，在此对我行诡诈之事。因此，直到你在战场上与同等勇士交锋、死期逼近之际，这梵天神箭的记忆都将牢牢系在你身上。”

Educational Q&A
Greed-driven deceit (lying about sacred power and acting with duplicity) binds one to lasting consequences; ethical failure produces an inescapable mental burden that is relieved only at a destined, dharmic resolution—here, the fatal encounter with an equal in battle.
Nārada rebukes the addressed person for lying about the Brahmāstra and behaving deceitfully toward him. As a consequence, Nārada declares that the person will remain haunted by the Brahmāstra’s remembrance until he meets an equal warrior in battle and his death becomes imminent.
