Sañjaya said: O King, Vaikartana (Karna), inflamed with wrath, advanced against the enraged Bhīma—an enemy-subduer—and, displaying his own prowess, pierced that mighty warrior with thirty arrows. The scene underscores how anger and martial pride intensify the violence of battle, even among renowned heroes.
