Then Vasudeva seeing that Partha's shafts were being frustrated by Kama, addressed him (Arjuna)-How is this O Kiritin, that your weapons are being baffled by Karna. O brave warrior, why are you looking like one confounded. Don't you see the Kauravas, behind Karna, are all uttering loud shouts of joy.
अथाब्रवीद वासुदेवोऽपि पार्थं दृष्ट्वा रथेषून प्रतिहन्यमानान्॥ अमीमृदत् सर्वपातेऽद्य कर्णो ह्यस्त्रैरस्त्रं किमिदं भो किरीटिन्। स वीर किं मुह्यसि नावधत्से नदन्त्येते कुरवः सम्प्रहृष्टाः॥
