तथा त्वां घातयिष्यामि पश्यत्सु सर्वराजसु । “नीच कुलमें पैदा हुए कर्ण! आ, मेरे साथ मल्ल-युद्ध कर ले। जैसे मैंने महान् बलशाली महाभोगी कीचकको पीस डाला था, उसी प्रकार इन समस्त राजाओंके देखते-देखते मैं तुझे अभी मौतके हवाले कर दूँगा”
tathā tvāṃ ghātayiṣyāmi paśyatsu sarvarājasu | nīcakuleṃ janitaḥ karṇa āgaccha mayā saha malla-yuddhaṃ kuru | yathā mayā mahān balavān mahābhogī kīcakaḥ pīṣitaḥ tathā teṣāṃ samastānāṃ rājñāṃ paśyatāṃ paśyatāṃ tvām adyaiva mṛtyor havāle kariṣyāmi ||
Sañjaya said: “So shall I slay you, while all the kings look on. ‘Karna, born in a low lineage—come, wrestle with me! Just as I crushed the mighty, powerful, pleasure-seeking Kīcaka, so too, before the eyes of all these rulers, I will hand you over to death this very moment.’”
