Karṇa-parva Adhyāya 20 — Yudhiṣṭhira–Duryodhana Encounter and Escalation of Arms
ततः कर्णों द्विषत्सेनां शरवर्षविलोडयन् | विजगाहाण्डजाकीर्णा पद्मिनीमिव यूथप:
Then Karṇa, churning the hostile host with a rain of arrows, plunged into its midst—like the lordly leader of elephants entering a lotus lake thronged with birds and stirring it into turmoil.
