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 |
三阇耶说道：毗摩塞那，这位大臂勇士、威势骇人的强者，以七支拉弓至耳的利箭射击迦尔那。迦尔那被那锐利的箭簇所伤，在战阵的挤压中被逼退——此事表明：在战争里，即便最伟大的英雄，也必须承受对手之力与决心所结下的即时果报。
