Shloka 3
कर्णपर्व — अध्याय ४०
Karṇa’s Pressure on the Pāñcālas; Duryodhana Disabled; Arjuna’s Counter-Advance
Devanagari script
यथैव मनत्तो मद्येन त्वं तथा लक्ष्यसे वृष | तथाद्य त्वां प्रमाद्यन्तं चिकित्सेयं सुहृत्तया,किंतु वृषभस्वरूप कर्ण! जैसे कोई मदिरासे मतवाला हो गया हो, उसी प्रकार तुम भी उन्मत्त दिखायी दे रहे हो; अतः मैं हितैषी सुहृद् होनेके नाते तुम-जैसे प्रमत्तकी आज चिकित्सा करूँगा
Translation
“But, O Karṇa, bull-like in form! Just as a man appears maddened by wine, so you too seem beside yourself; therefore today, as a well-wishing friend, I shall treat you—thus heedless—as one in need of cure.”
