Droṇanidhana-anantaraṃ sainya-viṣādaḥ and Karṇa-pravṛttiḥ
After Droṇa’s fall: army despondency and Karṇa’s advance
यस्मादभावी भावी वा भवेदर्थो नरं प्रति । अप्राप्तौ तस्य वा प्राप्ती न कश्चिद् व्यथते बुध:,प्रारब्धवश मनुष्यको अभीष्ट वस्तुकी प्राप्ति हो भी जाती है और नहीं भी होती है। अतः उसकी प्राप्ति हो या न हो, किसी भी दशामें कोई ज्ञानी पुरुष (हर्ष या) कष्टका अनुभव नहीं करता है
For whatever is to befall a man—whether not yet come to pass or surely to come—follows the appointed course. Whether it is gained or not gained, the wise are not distressed. By the force of karma already set in motion (prārabdha), a man may obtain the object he desires, or he may fail to obtain it; therefore, in gain or in loss, no discerning person is carried away by excessive joy or pain.
