Then your sons beheld the prowess of Bhimasena, when he covered Karna with arrows decked with beautiful wings made of the feathers of the Kanka bird. Thus then Bhima fought on with Karna, affording delight there by to Arjuna and the illustrious Keshava and Satyaki and his two protectors of carwheels. Then your sons, O mighty monarch, became depressed, seeing the prowess, the strength of arms and the patience of Bhima, who thoroughly knew his self.
तत्रापश्यंस्तव सुता भीमसेनस्य विक्रमम्। सुपुङ्खैः कङ्कवासोभिर्यत् कर्ण छादयच्छरैः॥ स नन्दयन् रणे पार्थ केशवं च यशस्विनम्। सात्यकिं चक्ररक्षौ च भीमः कर्णमयोधयत्॥ विक्रमं भुजयोर्वीर्य धैर्य च विदितात्मनः। पुत्रास्तव महाराज दृष्ट्वा विमनसोऽभवन्॥
