यद्येष राजा मत्स्यानां यदि बीभत्सुरागत: । अहमावारयिष्यामि वेलेव मकरालयम्,यदि यह मत्स्यदेशका राजा हो अथवा यदि स्वयं अर्जुन आया हो, तो भी जैसे वेला समुद्रको रोक देती है, उसी प्रकार मैं भी इसे आगे बढ़नेसे रोक दूँगा
Transliteration
yadyeṣa rājā matsyānāṃ yadi bībhatsur āgataḥ | aham āvārayiṣyāmi veleva makarālayam ||
Translation
Karna said: “Whether this be the king of the Matsyas, or Arjuna himself—Bībhatsu—who has come, I will stop him from advancing, just as the shoreline holds back the ocean, the abode of crocodiles.”
