I swear truly by my bow that I will slay, in your very sight, Vrishasena and will destroy all those other kings, who through cloudiness of intellect will oppose me in battle. Fool, unwise and self-conceited that you are, the wicked Duryodhana will give way to lamentations seeing you slain on the field of battle. Arjuna having promised to kill the son of Karna.
हन्तास्मि वृषसेनं ते प्रेक्षमाणस्य संयुगे। ये चान्येऽप्युपयास्यन्ति बुद्धिमोहेन मां नृपाः॥ तांश्च सर्वान् हनिष्यामि सत्येनायुधमालभे। त्वां च मूढाकृतप्रज्ञमतिमानिनमाहवे॥ दृष्ट्वा दुर्योधनो मन्दो भृशं तप्स्यति पातितम्। अर्जुनेन प्रतिज्ञाते वधे कर्णसुतस्य तु॥
