घटोत्कचमतिक्रम्य बिभेद दशभि: शरै: । इससे शीघ्रतापूर्वक हाथ चलानेवाला प्रतापी वीर सूतपुत्र कर्ण अत्यन्त कुपित हो उठा। उसने घटोत्कचका उल्लंघन करके उसे दस बाणोंसे घायल कर दिया

সঞ্জয়ে ক’লে—ঘটোৎকচক অতিক্ৰম কৰি কৰ্ণে তাক দহটা শৰে বিদ্ধ কৰিলে। দ্ৰুতহস্ত, প্ৰতাপী সূতপুত্ৰ কৰ্ণ ৰণমধ্যত অত্যন্ত ক্ৰুদ্ধ হৈ উঠিল; ঘটোৎকচক উলংঘি দহ শৰে তাক আহত কৰিলে।
