Arjuna–Karna Engagement in the Cattle-Raid Aftermath
एक: किरातरूपेण स्थितं रुद्रमयोधयत् । अस्मिन्नेव वने पार्थो हृतां कृष्णामवाजयत्,अर्जुनने अकेले ही किरातरूपमें सामने आये हुए भगवान् शंकरसे युद्ध किया। इसी वनवासकी घटना है, जब जयद्रथने द्रौयदीका अपहरण किया था, उस समय भी अर्जुनने अकेले ही उसे हराकर द्रौपदीको उसके हाथसे छुड़ाया था
ekaḥ kirātarūpeṇa sthitaṁ rudram ayodhayat | asminn eva vane pārtho hṛtāṁ kṛṣṇām avājayat |
克利帕说道：“阿周那独自一人，与化作基罗多（山地猎人）现身的鲁陀罗（湿婆）交战。也正是在这片森林里，当黑肤女克里希娜（德罗帕蒂）被掳走时，帕尔塔亦独自击败掳掠者，将她夺回。”

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores steadfast dharma: true heroism is not merely martial skill but the resolve to protect righteousness and honor—whether facing a divine test (Śiva as Kirāta) or rescuing the wronged (Draupadī) despite being alone.
Kṛpa praises Arjuna by recalling two feats: (1) Arjuna’s solitary combat with Śiva who appeared as a Kirāta, and (2) in the same forest, Arjuna’s victory in recovering Draupadī after her abduction—presented as evidence of Arjuna’s exceptional prowess and reliability.
