पुनश्च कर्णं त्रिभिरष्टभिश्च; द्वाभ्यां चतुर्भिर्दशभिश्च विद्ध्वा । चतुःशतान्द्विरदान्सायुधीया;न्हत्वा रथानष्टशतं जघान । सहस्रमश्वांश्च पुनश्च सादी;नष्टौ सहस्राणि च पत्तिवीरान् ॥
English Translation
Again striking Karna with three, eight, twelve, four and ten shafts he put four hundred armed elephants and eight hundred carwarriors to death.
दृष्ट्वाजिमुख्यावथ युध्यमानौ; दिदृक्षवः शूरवरावरिघ्नौ । कर्णं च पार्थं च नियम्य वाहा;न्खस्था महीस्थाश्च जनावतस्थुः ॥
English Translation
All the gods in heaven and persons of the earth, checking the animals they were riding upon, waited calmly to see the issue of the fight between those great heroes, Karna and Partha, who were the choicest of warriors and scorchers of enemies.
ततो धनुर्ज्या सहसातिकृष्टा; सुघोषमाच्छिद्यत पाण्डवस्य । तस्मिन्क्षणे सूतपुत्रस्तु पार्थं; समाचिनोत्क्षुद्रकाणां शतेन ॥
English Translation
At last that string of the bow of the son of Pandu being drawn with great might suddenly snapped with a great noise; in the meantime the son of Suta struck Partha with hundred small arrows adorned with feathers.
निर्मुक्तसर्पप्रतिमैश्च तीक्ष्णै;स्तैलप्रधौतैः खगपत्रवाजैः । षष्ट्या नाराचैर्वासुदेवं बिभेद; तदन्तरं सोमकाः प्राद्रवन्त ॥
ततो धनुर्ज्यामवधम्य शीघ्रं; शरानस्तानाधिरथेर्विधम्य । सुसंरब्धः कर्णशरक्षताङ्गो; रणे पार्थः सोमकान्प्रत्यगृह्णात् । न पक्षिणः संपतन्त्यन्तरिक्षे; क्षेपीयसास्त्रेण कृतेऽन्धकारे ॥
English Translation
Then Partha, though badly mangled by many arrows, became filled with rage and bending his bowstring soO11 cut-off the shafts of the son of Adhiratha and again attached the Kauravas in the battle.
शल्यं च पार्थो दशभिः पृषत्कै;र्भृशं तनुत्रे प्रहसन्नविध्यत् । ततः कर्णं द्वादशभिः सुमुक्तै;र्विद्ध्वा पुनः सप्तभिरभ्यविध्यत् ॥
English Translation
Them, smiling, Partha shot with great force ten shafts against Shalya's armour and struck Karna first with twelve and then with another seven arrows.
स पार्थबाणासनवेगनुन्नै;र्दृढाहतः पत्रिभिरुग्रवेगैः । विभिन्नगात्रः क्षतजोक्षिताङ्गः; कर्णो बभौ रुद्र इवाततेषुः ॥
English Translation
Karna, being thus mangled by winged shafts of great impetuosity from Partha's bow, his limbs pierced and blood streaming down his body, resembled the bloody Rudra sporting son in the midst of a crematorium at the time of destruction.
ततस्त्रिभिश्च त्रिदशाधिपोपमं; शरैर्बिभेदाधिरथिर्धनंजयम् । शरांस्तु पञ्च ज्वलितानिवोरगा;न्प्रवीरयामास जिघांसुरच्युते ॥
English Translation
Then the of Adhiratha struck Dhananjaya, who was looking like the king of Heaven (Indra) with three arrows and shot five other burning shafts like snakes for the purpose of killing Krishna.
ते वर्म भित्त्वा पुरुषोत्तमस्य; सुवर्णचित्रं न्यपतन्सुमुक्ताः । वेगेन गामाविविशुः सुवेगाः; स्नात्वा च कर्णाभिमुखाः प्रतीयुः ॥
English Translation
Those well-directed and mighty shafts, winged with gold, after piercing the armour of that noblest of human beings, entered the earth and having bathed (in the water of Bhogavati) again return towards Karna.
तान्पञ्चभल्लैस्त्वरितैः सुमुक्तै;स्त्रिधा त्रिधैकैकमथोच्चकर्त । धनंजयस्ते न्यपतन्पृथिव्यां; महाहयस्तक्षकपुत्रपक्षाः ॥
English Translation
Dhananjaya then with ten well-aimed and flat edged shafts, cut each of them into three pieces and thus those five great snakes (friends of the Asvasena the son of Taksha) fell to the earth.
ततः प्रजज्वाल किरीटमाली; क्रोधेन कक्षं प्रदहन्निवाग्निः । स कर्णमाकर्णविकृष्टसृष्टैः; शरैः शरीरान्तकरैर्ज्वलद्भिः । मर्मस्वविध्यत्स चचाल दुःखा;द्धैर्यात्तु तस्थावतिमात्रधैर्यः ॥
English Translation
He, then drawing the string to his ears, shot many burning and deadly arrows thereby striking Karna in all his vital points, but Karna of great patience, though, he felt very painful, kept his face summoning all his courage.
ततः शरौघैः प्रदिशो दिशश्च; रविप्रभा कर्णरथश्च राजन् । अदृश्य आसीत्कुपिते धनंजये; तुषारनीहारवृतं यथा नभः ॥
English Translation
O monarch, Dhananjaya, becoming angry, by his arrows covered all the sides of Karna's car; even the rays of the sun became invisible and the sky looked hazy as in a frosty day.
स चक्ररक्षानथ पादरक्षा;न्पुरःसरान्पृष्ठगोपांश्च सर्वान् । दुर्योधनेनानुमतानरिघ्ना;न्समुच्चितान्सुरथान्सारभूतान् ॥
द्विसाहस्रान्समरे सव्यसाची; कुरुप्रवीरानृषभः कुरूणाम् । क्षणेन सर्वान्सरथाश्वसूता;न्निनाय राजन्क्षयमेकवीरः ॥
अथापलायन्त विहाय कर्णं; तवात्मजाः कुरवश्चावशिष्टाः । हतानवाकीर्य शरक्षतांश्च; लालप्यमानांस्तनयान्पितॄंश्च ॥
English Translation
Then the remnants of the Kaurava army with your sons fled on all directions leaving Karna and even the wounded father and son fled leaving each other in the field.
स सर्वतः प्रेक्ष्य दिशो विशून्या; भयावदीर्णैः कुरुभिर्विहीनः । न विव्यथे भारत तत्र कर्णः; प्रतीपमेवार्जुनमभ्यधावत् ॥
English Translation
But the great warrior Karna, O King, seeing himself abandoned on all sides and left alone, was not at all afraid but pushed on against Arjuna with a brave heart and with energy.
