Disse Vaiśampāyana: Então ele disse a Karṇa: “Ó melhor dos heróis, que te seja favorável a boa fortuna. Aquilo que eu não pude obter de Bhīṣma, nem de Droṇa, nem de Kṛpa, nem de Bāhlika—isso mesmo eu obtive de ti.”

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores the ethical value of dāna (generosity) and kṛtajñatā (gratitude): true greatness is shown not only by status or seniority (Bhīṣma, Droṇa, Kṛpa, Bāhlika) but by the willingness to give what is asked, and it is righteous to acknowledge such giving openly.
The narrator reports a speech addressed to Karṇa: the speaker blesses him and states that a desired benefit—unavailable from other eminent elders—has been obtained from Karṇa, marking Karṇa as the one who granted the request/boon.
