कर्णाय पुरुषव्याघ्र सुप्रीतेनान्तरात्मना । राजन्! इस प्रकार यह पुरातन वृत्तान्त उस समय ऋषिने मेरे पिताजीसे कहा था। पुरुषसिंह! भृगुनन्दन परशुरामने भी अत्यन्त प्रसन्न हृदयसे महामना कर्णको दिव्य धनुर्वेद प्रदान किया है
Karṇāya puruṣavyāghra suprītenāntarātmanā | rājan, evaṁ purātanaṁ vṛttāntaṁ tadā ṛṣiṇā mama pitre kathitam | puruṣasiṁha, bhṛgunandanaḥ paraśurāmo 'pi atyanta-prasanna-hṛdayena mahāmanā karṇāya divyaṁ dhanurvedaṁ pradattavān |
杜尤陀那说道：“噫，人中之虎！为迦尔那之故，他内心极为欢悦——大王啊——这段古老的往事，当年仙人曾对我父王叙说。噫，人中之狮！婆利古族之荣光、尊贵的帕罗修罗摩，也以无比欣然之心，将神圣的弓术之学赐予大心的迦尔那。”

Educational Q&A
The passage underscores the power of disciplined learning and legitimate transmission of martial knowledge: a warrior’s prowess is shaped by instruction received from revered teachers, and such gifts carry ethical weight because they influence the course of war and responsibility in kingship.
Duryodhana recounts an ancient report once told by a sage to his father, emphasizing that Parashurama—descendant of Bhṛgu—was greatly pleased and granted Karna the divine Dhanurveda, thereby affirming Karna’s formidable training and status as a warrior.
