(I know) what land is even and what is uneven-the strength and weakness of the carwarrior (of my chariot) the fatigue and perspiration of the horses along with the car-warrior; (I have) a knowledge of weapons, of the cries of birds and animals, of what would be heavy for the horses and what would be exceedingly heavy for them, of the taking out of the arrows, of the wounds, of the weapons counteracting each other of the diverse modes of fighting and of all kinds of omens and indications. I know all this who am so familiar with this car. I therefore describe to you this incident once more.
समं च विषमं चैव रथिनश्च बलाबलम्। श्रमः खेदश्च सततं हयानां रथिना सह॥ आयुधस्य परिज्ञानं रुतं च मृगपक्षिणाम्। भारश्चाप्यतिभारश्च शल्यानां च प्रतिक्रिया॥ अस्त्रयोगश्च युद्धं च निमित्तानि तथैव च। सर्वमेतन्मया ज्ञेयं रथस्यास्य कुटुम्बिना॥ अतस्त्वां कथये कर्ण निदर्शनमिदं पुनः।
