Transliteration

na jahau samare bhīmaṁ kruddha-rūpaṁ parantapaḥ | bhīmasenaka-bāṇaiḥ kṣata-vikṣataḥ san api śatrūn santāpayituṁ samarthaḥ atirathaḥ karṇaḥ samara-bhūmau kupitaṁ bhīmasenaṁ tyaktvā na palāyitavān |

Translation

Sañjaya said: Even when wounded and torn by Bhīmasena’s arrows, Karṇa—the mighty warrior who scorches his foes—did not abandon the battlefield. He did not flee, nor did he leave the enraged Bhīmasena in combat; instead, he stood his ground, continuing to afflict the enemy despite his injuries.
