Karṇa–Sūrya Saṃvāda: Satya, Dāna, and the Amoghā Śakti (कर्ण–सूर्यसंवादः)
वेगेनोत्पततस्तस्य पेतुस्ते रजनीचरा: । भुवि सम्मभिन्नह्दया: प्रहारवरपीडिता:,उछलते समय उनके वेगसे छूटकर वे चारों राक्षस पृथ्वीपर जा गिरे। उन राक्षसोंकी छाती फट गयी और अधिक चोट लगनेके कारण उन्हें बड़ी पीड़ा हुई
vegenotpatatas tasya petus te rajanīcarāḥ | bhuvi sammabhinnahṛdayāḥ prahāravarapīḍitāḥ ||
मार्कंडेय म्हणाले—तो प्रचंड वेगाने उडी मारताच ते चार रजनीचर सुटून भूमीवर कोसळले। त्यांच्या हृदयाचा भंग झाला आणि प्रहारांच्या जोराने चिरडले जाऊन ते तीव्र वेदनेने तडफडले।
