Devanagari script
बलवीर्यमद्द कर्ण त्यक्त्वा क्षान्तिमुपागत: । कर्ण! इस प्रकार जूठन खाकर पुष्ट हुआ कौआ उस हंससे पराजित हो अपने महान् बल-पराक्रमका घमंड छोड़कर शान्त हो गया
Transliteration
balavīryamadda karṇa tyaktvā kṣāntim upāgataḥ | karṇa! evaṃ prakāraṃ jūṭhanaṃ khātvā puṣṭaḥ kākaḥ sa haṃsena parājitaḥ san mahān bala-parākramasya garvaṃ tyaktvā śāntaḥ abhavat |
Translation
O Karṇa, the crow, intoxicated with its own strength and prowess, was humbled. Defeated by the swan, it cast off its pride in great power and valor and became calm. Thus, though it had grown stout by eating scraps, when faced with one superior it learned restraint and ceased its arrogance.
