अन्धकार-रजःसंमूढे रणाङ्गणे प्रदीपप्रकाशः | Illumination of the Army in Darkness and Dust
अवारोहदू रथात् तस्मादथ कर्णो महारथ: । गदां गृहीत्वा समरे भीमाय प्राहिणोद् रुषा,महारथी कर्ण उस रथसे उतर गया और गदा लेकर उसने समरभूमिमें भीमसेनपर रोषपूर्वक चला दी
avarohad rathāt tasmād atha karṇo mahārathaḥ | gadāṁ gṛhītvā samare bhīmāya prāhiṇod ruṣā ||
ಆಮೇಲೆ ಮಹಾರಥನಾದ ಕರ್ಣನು ಆ ರಥದಿಂದ ಇಳಿದನು. ಗದೆಯನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿದು, ಸಮರದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೋಪದಿಂದ ಭೀಮಸೇನನ ಮೇಲೆ ಅದನ್ನು ಎಸೆದನು।
