tato ripughnaṃ samathat karṇaḥ susaṃcitaṃ sarpamukhaṃ jvalantam | raudraṃ śaraṃ saṃnatam ugradhautaṃ pārthārtham atyarthacirābhiguptam ||

Translation

Wika ni Sañjaya: Noon ay ikinabit ni Karna sa kanyang busog ang palasong pumupuksa sa kaaway—maingat na inihanda, nagliliyab, at may mukhang ahas—isang kakilakilabot na palaso, maingat na inilapat at matalim na hinasa, na matagal niyang iningatang lihim para lamang sa pagpatama kay Pārtha (Arjuna).
