घोरमादत्त विशिखं कर्णकायावदारणम् | कर्णके द्वारा अत्यन्त घायल होकर बलवानोंमें श्रेष्ठ महाधनुर्थर भीमसेनने एक भयंकर बाण हाथमें लिया, जो कर्णके शरीरको विदीर्ण करनेमें समर्थ था
sañjaya uvāca | ghoram ādatta viśikhaṃ karṇa-kāyāvadāraṇam |
三阇耶说道：随即，毗摩塞那抓起一支可怖的利箭，足以撕裂迦尔那之躯。虽自身亦受重创，这位强弓劲射的勇士——诸力士之冠——仍决意以决断之力回击暴烈之行，将战局推向命运所注定的法义清算。

In the battlefield ethic of the epic, a kṣatriya endures injury without abandoning resolve; action is framed as duty and consequence rather than personal comfort. The verse highlights steadfastness under suffering and the grim moral weight of retaliatory force in war.
Sañjaya narrates that Bhīma, though badly wounded, takes up a terrifying arrow specifically capable of tearing Karṇa’s body, signaling an intensified exchange in the Karṇa–Pāṇḍava combat sequence.
