सोत्सेधमस्य च शिरः पश्यतां सुहृदां हृतम् । त्वया पुरुषशार्दूल शार्दूलेन यथा रुरोः ॥
English Translation
How did you cut-off his head, O most mighty one, as a tiger pieces off the head of a Ruru deer, while he was fighting, even in presence of all his allies?
यः पर्युपासीत्प्रदिशो दिशश्च; त्वां सूतपुत्रः समरे परीप्सन् । दित्सुः कर्णः समरे हस्तिपूगं; स हीदानीं कङ्कपत्रैः सुतीक्ष्णैः ॥
त्वया रणे निहतः सूतपुत्रः; कच्चिच्छेते भूमितले दुरात्मा । कच्चित्प्रियं मे परमं त्वयाद्य; कृतं रणे सूतपुत्रं निहत्य ॥
यः सर्वतः पर्यपतत्त्वदर्थे; मदान्वितो गर्वितः सूतपुत्रः । स शूरमानी समरे समेत्य; कच्चित्त्वया निहतः संयुगेऽद्य ॥
English Translation
How did you encounter and kill in battle that well-honored hero, that proud and haughty son of Suta who used to search you everywhere in the battle-field.
रौक्मं रथं हस्तिवरैश्च युक्तं; रथं दित्सुर्यः परेभ्यस्त्वदर्थे । सदा रणे स्पर्धते यः स पापः; कच्चित्त्वया निहतस्तात युद्धे ॥
English Translation
Have you, O brother, really slain in battle the vicious scoundrel who was ever ready to challenge you and to give away to others a superb golden chariot along with bulls, steeds and elephants provided they could give him some clue to you?
योऽसौ नित्यं शूरमदेन मत्तो; विकत्थते संसदि कौरवाणाम् । प्रियोऽत्यर्थं तस्य सुयोधनस्य; कच्चित्स पापो निहतस्त्वयाद्य ॥
English Translation
Have you, indeed, slain that favourite of Suyodhana who, being elated with the pride of chivalry, ever used to indulge in selfglorification amidst the assembly of the Kurus?
कच्चित्समागम्य धनुःप्रमुक्तै;स्त्वत्प्रेषितैर्लोहितार्थैर्विहंगैः । शेतेऽद्य पापः स विभिन्नगात्रः; कच्चिद्भग्नो धार्तराष्ट्रस्य बाहुः ॥
English Translation
Does the scoundrel lie low on the battlefield today being mangled all over the body with long-ranging blood-besmeared shafts hurled by you from your bow. Could you break in twin the arms of Dhritarashtra's sons?
योऽसौ सदा श्लाघते राजमध्ये; दुर्योधनं हर्षयन्दर्पपूर्णः । अहं हन्ता फल्गुनस्येति मोहा;त्कच्चिद्धतस्तस्य न वै तथा रथः ॥
English Translation
Could you baffle the foolish braggings he used to make amidst the assembly of kings simply to soothe Duryodhana, saying, I will kill Phalguna?
नाहं पादौ धावयिष्ये कदाचि;द्यावत्स्थितः पार्थ इत्यल्पबुद्धिः । व्रतं तस्यैतत्सर्वदा शक्रसूनो; कच्चित्त्वया निहतः सोऽद्य कर्णः ॥
English Translation
Have you, O son of Indra, slain in today's battle the dull-headed Karna, the son Suta, who had taken an oath not to wash his feet till Partha breathed?
योऽसौ कृष्णामब्रवीद्दुष्टबुद्धिः; कर्णः सभायां कुरुवीरमध्ये । किं पाण्डवांस्त्वं न जहासि कृष्णे; सुदुर्बलान्पतितान्हीनसत्त्वान् ॥
यत्तत्कर्णः प्रत्यजानात्त्वदर्थे; नाहत्वाहं सह कृष्णेन पार्थम् । इहोपयातेति स पापबुद्धिः; कच्चिच्छेते शरसंभिन्नगात्रः ॥
कच्चित्संग्रामे विदितो वा तदायं; समागमः सृञ्जयकौरवाणाम् । यत्रावस्थामीदृशीं प्रापितोऽहं; कच्चित्त्वया सोऽद्य हतः समेत्य ॥
English Translation
You do full well remember how hotly the battle raged when the Srinjayas and the Kaurava's faced each other-the encounter in which I was brought to such a sad plight. Did you come face to face with Karna and shoot him down?
कच्चित्त्वया तस्य सुमन्दबुद्धे;र्गाण्डीवमुक्तैर्विशिखैर्ज्वलद्भिः । सकुण्डलं भानुमदुत्तमाङ्गं; कायात्प्रकृत्तं युधि सव्यसाचिन् ॥
English Translation
Have you today, O Savyasachin, severed that ear-ring bedecked splendid head of Karna off from his body with your fiery shafts discharged from the Gandiva.
यत्तन्मया बाणसमर्पितेन; ध्यातोऽसि कर्णस्य वधाय वीर । तन्मे त्वया कच्चिदमोघमद्य; ध्यातं कृतं कर्णनिपातनेन ॥
English Translation
O valiant one, afflicted with Karna's shafts today how I thought of you (that you would slay him)! Have you put that thought of mine to action by slaying Karna?
यद्दर्पपूर्णः स सुयोधनोऽस्मा;नवेक्षते कर्णसमाश्रयेण । कच्चित्त्वया सोऽद्य समाश्रयोऽस्य; भग्नः पराक्रम्य सुयोधनस्य ॥
English Translation
Being under the aegis of Karna the proud Suyodhana cared us not a jot. Have you by your might removed that aegis?
यो नः पुरा षण्ढतिलानवोच;त्सभामध्ये पार्थिवानां समक्षम् । स दुर्मतिः कच्चिदुपेत्य संख्ये; त्वया हतः सूतपुत्रोऽत्यमर्षी ॥
English Translation
Did you encounter him in the field and settle with that wretched wight, the son of Suta, who had even before the assembly of the Kauravas likened us to sesame seeds devoid of Kernel;
यः सूतपुत्रः प्रहसन्दुरात्मा; पुराब्रवीन्निर्जितां सौबलेन । स्वयं प्रसह्यानय याज्ञसेनी;मपीह कच्चित्स हतस्त्वयाद्य ॥
English Translation
That unrighteous son of Suta who had, grinning all the while, ordered Dusvashanta to drag out Jagyasena's daughter won by Subala's son (as a stake) at dice;
यः शस्त्रभृच्छ्रेष्ठतमं पृथिव्यां; पितामहं व्याक्षिपदल्पचेताः । संख्यायमानोऽर्धरथः स कच्चि;त्त्वया हतोऽद्याधिरथिर्दुरात्मा ॥
English Translation
That dull-headed Karna who had upbraided the foremost warrior in the course of the tale of Rathas and Atirathas?
अमर्षणं निकृतिसमीरणेरितं; हृदि श्रितं ज्वलनमिमं सदा मम । हतो मया सोऽद्य समेत्य पापधी;रिति ब्रुवन्प्रशमय मेऽद्य फल्गुन ॥
English Translation
O Phalguna, that you have met with and slain that Karna in battle and thereby quench the flame of vindictiveness blazing within my heart being fanned by the wind of mortification. Assure me,
