Then Karna addressed him thus-'whatever you speak is of no avail. Being delighted, do you utter those words once more, as you are struck over and over again. O son of Pandu, do you not fight with the mightiest of Kurus; O son, fight with those, that are your cquals. O son of Pandu, do not be ashamed of it. O son of Madri, go home, where are Krishna and Falguna.' O most powerful monarch, he then, having addressed him thus, dismissed him at that time.
तमब्रवीत्ततः कर्णो व्यर्थं व्याहृतवानसि। वदेदानीं पुनर्हष्टो वध्यमानः पुनः पुनः॥ मा योत्सीः कुरुभिः सार्धे बलवद्भिश्च पाण्डव। सदृशैस्तात युध्यस्व व्रीडां मा कुरु पाण्डव॥ गृहं वा गच्छ माद्रेय यत्र वा कृष्णफाल्गुनौ। एवमुक्त्वा महाराज व्यसर्जयत् तं तदा॥
