Karna–Krishna Dialogue: Omens and Dream-Signs
यदा द्रक्ष्यसि संग्रामे भीमसेनं॑ महाबलम् | दुःशासनस्य रुधिरं पीत्वा नृत्यन्तमाहवे
sañjaya uvāca | yadā drakṣyasi saṅgrāme bhīmasenaṃ mahābalam | duḥśāsanasya rudhiraṃ pītvā nṛtyantam āhave |
桑阇耶说道：“当你在战场上看见大力的怖军（Bhīmasena）饮下杜沙萨那（Duḥśāsana）之血，并在厮杀之中起舞时，你对‘仍处于正法之世’的感觉——无论萨提亚纪、特雷塔纪或德瓦帕罗纪——都将从你心中消失。此景将宣告世间已堕入战争与报复的严酷法则：誓言与复仇遮蔽了正法（dharma）更温和的理想。”

The verse underscores the ethical shock of war: even a righteous cause can culminate in terrifying acts driven by vows and vengeance. It frames such brutality as a sign of moral deterioration—so extreme that the listener loses any sense of the earlier, more dharmic yugas.
Sañjaya foretells to Dhṛtarāṣṭra a future battlefield scene: Bhīma will kill Duḥśāsana and, fulfilling his vow, drink his blood and exult in combat. The prophecy is meant to warn of the catastrophic consequences awaiting the Kauravas.
