Beholding the valour of Karna, O king, I was under the impression that not even a single soul of the Panchalas would escape from the son of Adhiratha in that battle. Indeed the Suta's son repeatedly routed the Panchalas in the battle.
मम चासीन्मती राजन् दृष्ट्वा कर्णस्य विक्रमम्॥ नैकोऽप्याधिरथेर्जीवन् पाञ्चाल्यो मोक्ष्यते युधि। पञ्चालान् व्यधमत् संख्ये सूतपुत्रः पुनः पुनः॥
