viviśur dharaṇīṃ bāṇāḥ saṃkruddhā iva pannagāḥ | tadanantaraṃ vai rudhirase raṅge huye bāṇaḥ tasmin mahāsamare karṇaṃ chittvā kupitāḥ sarpā iva dharaṇyāṃ samāgatāḥ ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: The arrows plunged into the earth like enraged serpents. Immediately thereafter, those blood-stained shafts, having pierced Karṇa amid that great battle, sank into the ground as if they were wrathful snakes—signaling the battle’s relentless violence and the inescapable consequence of martial fury.
