Translation

Sañjaya said: O King, the terrible body of Adhiratha’s son (Karna) was covered all over with hundreds of arrows. Yet, even in that grievous state, he appeared radiant—like the sun shining forth with its rays—revealing the warrior’s steadfast endurance amid the brutal demands of battle.
