Transliteration

abravīc ca tadā karṇo guruṁ śāradvataṁ kṛpam | satyam uktaṁ tvayā brahman pāṇḍavān prati yad vacaḥ ||

Translation

Sañjaya said: Then Karṇa addressed his teacher, Kṛpa Śāradvata: “O brāhmaṇa, what you have spoken concerning the Pāṇḍavas is indeed true.” Amid war-counsel he acknowledged the truth, yet remained bound to his chosen allegiance and the hard ethics of battlefield duty.
