Transliteration
pratāpya senām āmitrīṁ dīptaiḥ śaragabhastibhiḥ | balinārjunakālena nīto 'staṁ karṇabhāskaraḥ ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Having scorched the hostile army with blazing rays in the form of arrow-showers, the sun-like Karṇa was driven to his setting by mighty Arjuna—Time itself in battle. The verse frames Karṇa’s fall not merely as a personal defeat, but as the moral and inevitable turning of the war’s tide under the force of destiny and righteous consequence.
