Karna–Krishna Dialogue: Omens and Dream-Signs
यदा द्रक्ष्यसि संग्रामे श्वेताश्व॑ं कृष्णसारथिम् | ऐन्द्रमस्त्रं विकुर्वाणमुभे चाप्यग्निमारुते
sañjaya uvāca | yadā drakṣyasi saṅgrāme śvetāśvaṃ kṛṣṇa-sārathim | aindram astraṃ vikurvāṇam ubhe cāpy agni-mārute, karṇa |
迦尔那啊，当你在战场上看见阿周那——白马驾车，奎师那为御者——施展因陀罗之神兵，又放出火与风的神矢；当甘狄婆弓那如金刚雷霆般可怖的弦鸣震入你耳之时，诸劫的秩序仿佛在你眼前崩塌。你将不再感到真、特雷塔或堕婆罗的存在；唯有可怖的迦梨之灵——纯粹的纷争——占据你的视野。

Educational Q&A
The verse frames war as a moral and cosmic crisis: when divine power is unleashed without restraint, the stability associated with righteous ages (Satya, Tretā, Dvāpara) seems to vanish, and the chaos of Kali—conflict and degeneration—appears to prevail. It warns that adharma-driven confrontation invites a perception (and experience) of moral collapse.
Sañjaya addresses Karṇa with a prophetic warning: in the coming battle, Karṇa will witness Arjuna on his white-horsed chariot with Kṛṣṇa as charioteer, deploying powerful divine missiles (Aindra, Āgneya, and Vāyavya). The terrifying sound and force of Arjuna’s Gāṇḍīva will overwhelm Karṇa, making the battlefield feel like the onset of Kali’s dreadful disorder.
