Karna’s Martial Boast and Challenge to Bībhatsu
Arjuna
Devanagari script
येनासौ व्यजयत् कृत्स्नां प्रतीचीं दिशमाहवे । कलापो होष तस्यासीन्माद्रीपुत्रस्य धीमतः,जिसपर पाँच सिंहोंके चिह्न हैं, वही यह नकुलका “कलाप' (तरकस) है, जिससे उन्होंने युद्धमें सम्पूर्ण पश्चिमदिशापर विजय पायी थी। उस समय बुद्धिमान माद्रीपुत्र नकुलके पास यही कलाप था
Translation
ด้วยแล่งศรนี้เองเขาจึงพิชิตทิศตะวันตกทั้งสิ้นในศึก; แล่งศรนี้แหละเป็นของนกุล โอรสมาทรี ผู้มีปัญญา.
