Having seen Karna and his son killed and wounded with arrows shot off the Gandiva Yudhisthira looked again and again at them before he could believe his eyes. He then praised Krishna and Arjuna saying-
संछिन्नभिन्नकवचं बाणैश्च विदलीकृतम्। सपुत्रं निहतं दृष्ट्वा कर्णं राजा युधिष्ठिरः॥ संजातप्रत्ययोऽतीव वीक्ष्य चैवं पुनः पुनः। प्रशशंस नरव्याघ्राबुभौ माधवपाण्डवौ॥
