Shloka 266
कृष्णोपदेशः, अर्जुनस्य क्षमा-याचनम्, कर्णवध-अनुज्ञा
Krishna’s Counsel, Arjuna’s Apology, and Authorization for Karṇa’s Slaying
आकर्णपूर्णविशिखै: कर्ण विव्याध सप्तभि: । उन भल्लोंसे आहत हो भयंकर पराक्रमी महाबाहु भीमसेनने कर्णको भी कानतक खींचकर छोड़े गये सात बाणोंसे पीट दिया
ākarṇapūrṇaviśikhaiḥ karṇa vivyādha saptabhiḥ |
Wika ni Sañjaya: Si Bhīmasena, ang makapangyarihang mandirigmang may dambuhalang bisig at nakapanghihilakbot na lakas, ay tumama kay Karṇa ng pitong palasong hinila ang busog hanggang tainga. Nasugatan ng matutulis na palasong iyon, si Karṇa ay napaurong at napasadsad sa siksikan ng labanan—isang pangyayaring nagpapakita na sa digmaan, maging ang pinakadakilang bayani ay kailangang tiisin ang agarang bunga ng lakas at paninindigan ng kalaban.

The verse highlights the battlefield reality that status and reputation do not exempt anyone from consequences; valor must be met with valor, and endurance under attack is part of kṣatriya-dharma.
Sañjaya reports that Bhīma shoots Karṇa with seven fully drawn arrows, wounding him and checking his advance amid the ongoing combat.
