Shloka 101
एवं कृत्वा रणे कर्ण आरुरोह रथं पुन: । ततो मुमोच नाराचान् सूतपुत्र: परंतप,रणभूमिमें ऐसा पराक्रम करके कर्ण पुनः अपने रथपर आ बैठा। शत्रुओंको संताप देनेवाले नरेश! फिर सूतपुत्र कर्ण नाराचोंकी वर्षा करने लगा
evaṁ kṛtvā raṇe karṇa ārurōha rathaṁ punaḥ | tato mumoca nārācān sūtaputraḥ parantapa ||
