It is telling that Karna, having ruled out conciliation, gift, and discord, calls for the rod of force — but against the innocent. Here the truth appears: even the last of the means, turned against justice, is violence, not justice itself. Thus the scripture reveals the counsel of open war against kinsmen; and behind soldierly directness lies an unjust undertaking.
