उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय १४१: कर्ण–कृष्णसंवादः, उत्पात-स्वप्न-लक्षणानि
Karna–Krishna Dialogue: Omens and Dream-Signs
युद्धायापततस्तूर्ण वारितान् सव्यसाचिना । न तदा भविता त्रेता न कृत॑ द्वापरं न च
sañjaya uvāca | yuddhāyāpatatas tūrṇaṁ vāritān savyasācinā | na tadā bhavitā tretā na kṛtaṁ dvāparaṁ na ca ||
三阇耶说道:“当你看见那些疾奔投入战阵的人,被萨维亚萨钦(阿周那)立刻拦住时,你必将惊愕伫立;在那一刻,你心中既不会想到特雷塔纪,也不会想到克利塔(萨提亚)纪,甚至连德瓦帕罗纪也不复浮现。”
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights how overwhelming martial excellence can shatter ordinary moral and temporal frameworks: in the shock of seeing Arjuna halt the onrushing fighters, the mind loses its usual bearings—even the familiar categories of the yugas (Kṛta, Tretā, Dvāpara) fail to arise. It underscores the psychological force of dharma-conflict when power and fate converge.
Sañjaya foretells to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that when the Kaurava side advances eagerly toward war and Arjuna immediately checks their momentum, Dhṛtarāṣṭra will be left stunned and disoriented, unable to think clearly even in terms of the traditional cosmic ages.
