कृष्णोपदेशः, अर्जुनस्य क्षमा-याचनम्, कर्णवध-अनुज्ञा
Krishna’s Counsel, Arjuna’s Apology, and Authorization for Karṇa’s Slaying
आकर्णपूर्णविशिखै: कर्ण विव्याध सप्तभि: । उन भल्लोंसे आहत हो भयंकर पराक्रमी महाबाहु भीमसेनने कर्णको भी कानतक खींचकर छोड़े गये सात बाणोंसे पीट दिया
ākarṇapūrṇaviśikhaiḥ karṇa vivyādha saptabhiḥ |
সঞ্জয়ে ক’লে—ভয়ংকৰ পৰাক্ৰমশালী মহাবাহু ভীমসেনে কৰ্ণক কাণলৈকে টানি এৰি দিয়া সাতটা বাণে বিদ্ধ কৰিলে। সেই তীক্ষ্ণ শৰে আঘাতপ্ৰাপ্ত হৈ কৰ্ণো ৰণত চাপে পৰিল।

The verse highlights the battlefield reality that status and reputation do not exempt anyone from consequences; valor must be met with valor, and endurance under attack is part of kṣatriya-dharma.
Sañjaya reports that Bhīma shoots Karṇa with seven fully drawn arrows, wounding him and checking his advance amid the ongoing combat.
