Inflamed with wrath, Karna, the son of Suta by virtue of the illusion of his weapons, cut-off in that combat, with his straight arrows the pairs of quivers and the bow-string and the traces of the steeds of the fighting Bhima. Thereafter slaying his antagonist's steeds, Karna pierced the latter's charioteer with five shafts.
युध्यमानस्य भीमस्य सूतपुत्रोऽसमायया। तस्येषुधी धनुर्ध्या च बाणैः संनतपर्वभिः॥ रश्मीन् योक्त्राणि चाश्वानां क्रुद्धः कर्णोऽच्छिनन्मृधे। तस्याश्वांश्च पुनर्हत्वा सूतं विव्याध पञ्चभिः॥
