Shloka 101
अस्त्रैरस्त्राणि संवार्य प्रनिघ्नन् सव्यसाचिन: । चक्रे चाप्यधिकं पार्थात् स्ववीर्यमतिदर्शयन्,कर्ण अपने अस्त्रोंद्वारा सव्यसाची अर्जुनके अस्त्रोंका निवारण करके उन सबको नष्ट कर दिया और अपने पराक्रमका प्रदर्शन करते हुए उसने अपने-आपको अर्जुनसे अधिक शक्तिशाली सिद्ध कर दिखाया
astrair astrāṇi saṃvārya prani-ghnan savyasācinaḥ | cakre cāpy adhikaṃ pārthāt sva-vīryam ati-darśayan ||
三阇耶说道：以兵制兵，迦尔纳用自己的武器遏止了萨维亚萨钦（阿周那）所发诸般飞射之器，并将其尽数击落摧毁。为显己之雄威，他甚至一度似乎胜过帕尔塔，使自身的力量在战场上昭然可见。
