Shloka 28
Devanagari script
तपान्ते जलदो यद्धच्छरधारा: क्षरन् मुहुः । दिव्यास्त्रजलद: कर्ण: पर्जन्य इव वृष्टिमान्,जैसे वर्षाकालमें बरसनेवाला मेघ पानीकी धारा गिराता है, उसी प्रकार दिव्यास्त्ररूपी जल प्रदान करनेवाला कर्णरूपी मेघ बारंबार बाणधाराकी वर्षा करता रहता है
Transliteration
tapānte jalado yaddhaccharadhārāḥ kṣaran muhuḥ | divyāstrajaladaḥ karṇaḥ parjanya iva vṛṣṭimān |
Translation
As a rain-cloud, heated by the season’s blaze, repeatedly pours down streams of water, so Karṇa—like a cloud that grants the waters of divine weapons—keeps showering torrents of arrows again and again, filling the battlefield with an unceasing storm of war.
