I had no hope of success, O Sanjaya, when I heard that Karna, having got Bhima in his power, had allowed him to escape only with some contemptuous terms and having dragged him with the end of his bow.
यदाश्रौषं कर्णमासाद्य मुक्तं वधाद्धीमं कुत्सयित्वा वचोभिः। धनुष्कोट्यातुद्य कर्णेन वीरं तदा नाशंसे विजयाय संजय॥
