I grieve also continually at this, O gods that when I marked the resemblance between the feet of my mother and those of Karna of high soul, I did not immediately place myself under the orders of that destroyer of hostile ranks! Ourselves joined with Karna, Shakra himself would have been unable to defeat in battle.
इदं च परितप्यामि पुनः पुनरहं सुराः। यन्मातुः सदृशौ पादौ तस्याहममितात्मनः॥ दृष्ट्वैव तौ नानुगतः कर्णं परबलार्दनम्। न ह्यस्मान् कर्णसहितान् जयेच्छक्रोऽपि संयुगे॥
