दैवं पुरुषकारेण को निवर्तितुमुत्सहेत्‌ | यह युद्ध अवश्यम्भावी है। इसे कोई टाल नहीं सकता। भला, दैवको पुरुषार्थके द्वारा कौन मिटा सकता है

Transliteration

daivaṃ puruṣakāreṇa ko nivartitum utsahet | ayaṃ yuddho 'vaśyambhāvī; enaṃ kaścin na tālayituṃ śaknoti | bhala, daivaṃ puruṣārthena kaḥ pramārṣṭum arhati ||

Translation

Karna disse: “Quem ousaria fazer recuar o que o destino ordenou por mero esforço humano? Esta guerra é inevitável; ninguém pode evitá-la. Em verdade, quem pode apagar a sina pelo próprio empenho?”
