अन्धकार-रजःसंमूढे रणाङ्गणे प्रदीपप्रकाशः | Illumination of the Army in Darkness and Dust

तौ शोणितोक्षितैगत्रि: शरैश्छिन्नतनुच्छदौ । कर्णभीमौ व्यराजेतां निर्मुक्ताविव पन्नगौं,बाणोंद्वारा उन दोनोंके कवच कट गये थे और सारे अंग रक्तसे भींग गये थे। उस दशामें वे कर्ण और भीमसेन केंचुल छोड़कर निकले हुए दो सर्पोके समान शोभा पाने लगे। जैसे दो व्याप्र अपनी दाढ़ोंसे एक-दूसरेपर चोट करते हैं, उसी प्रकार वे दोनों पुरुषव्याप्र योद्धा परस्पर प्रहार कर रहे थे। वे दोनों वीर दो मेघोंके समान बाणधाराकी वर्षा कर रहे थे

tau śoṇitokṣitair gātraiḥ śaraiś chinnatanucchadau | karṇabhīmau vyarājetāṃ nirmuktāv iva pannagau ||

Sañjaya said: With their limbs drenched in blood and their body-armour cut away by arrows, Karṇa and Bhīmasena shone forth like two serpents that have just cast off their slough. Stripped of protection yet undaunted, they continued to strike one another in close combat, their splendour and ferocity heightened by the very wounds of battle—an image of warrior resolve amid the relentless ethics of kṣatriya warfare.
