Adhyāya 5 (Śānti-parva): Nārada’s account of Karṇa—Jarāsandha encounter and the causal grounds of Karṇa’s fall
एवं शप्तस्तव भ्राता बहुभिश्नापि वज्चित:ः । न शोच्य: पुरुषव्याप्र युद्धेन निधनं गत:
evaṁ śaptas tava bhrātā bahubhiś cāpi vañcitaḥ | na śocyaḥ puruṣavyāghra yuddhena nidhanaṁ gataḥ puruṣasiṁha yudhiṣṭhira ||
那罗陀说道：“如此，你的兄弟——虽受诅咒，又屡遭多人欺诳——终在战场上迎来其死。故而，噫，尤提施提罗，人中之虎，不当纵情沉溺于哀恸。”

Educational Q&A
Nārada urges Yudhiṣṭhira to restrain grief by viewing death in battle within a dharmic frame: even when a person is burdened by curses and human deceit, the end that comes through war is presented as a completed destiny, and excessive lamentation is discouraged.
Nārada addresses Yudhiṣṭhira and speaks about his brother Karṇa, noting that Karṇa had been cursed and also misled by many; yet since he died in the war, Nārada counsels that Yudhiṣṭhira should not treat him as an object of prolonged mourning.
