anekaśo mahārāja babhajja puruṣarṣabhaḥ | mahārāja! śatrūṇāṃ santāpa-denavālaḥ puruṣaśreṣṭho rādhāputraḥ karṇaḥ tān nivṛttān śūravīrān raṇabhūmau bāraṃbāraṃ bhāgayat sma || 53 || tatra bhārata karṇena pañcālā viṃśatī rathāḥ
Sañjaya said: “O King, that bull among men shattered them again and again. O great king, Karṇa—the son of Rādhā, the foremost of warriors and a torment to his enemies—repeatedly drove those returning heroes into flight on the battlefield. There, O descendant of Bharata, by Karṇa (were struck down) twenty chariots of the Pāñcālas.”
