Transliteration
śarair ācita-sarvāṅgaḥ śoṇitaugha-pariplutaḥ | vibhāti dehaḥ karṇasya sva-raśmibhir ivāṃśumān ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Karṇa’s body—its every limb packed with arrows and drenched in streaming blood—still shone forth, like the sun (Āṃśumān) blazing with its own rays. Even amid the brutal ethics of battlefield duty, the verse frames Karṇa’s wounded endurance as a grim radiance: valor and steadfastness persisting under the full cost of war.
