Although accosted thus by the king of Madra in the battle-field, still Karna, worked up with anger, pursued Yudhishthira. Having wounded then greatly with sharpened arrows the sons begotten on Madri by Pandu, Karna smiling made (the king) turn his face with arrows in battle.
एवमुक्तोऽपि कर्णस्तु मद्रराजेन संयुगे॥ तथैव कर्णः संरब्धो युधिष्ठिरमताडयत्। शरैस्तीक्ष्णैः पराविध्य माद्रीपुत्रौ च पाण्डवौ॥ प्रहस्य समरे कर्णश्चकार विमुखं शरैः।
