Hearing the words of the king Shalya and seeing Duryodhana overpowered by Bhima in that great battle, Karna, worked up with the words of Shalya and anxious to save the king, left the king Yudhishthira who has no enemies and the two sons of Madri and hurried on for rescuing your son.
इति शल्यवचः श्रुत्वा राधेयः पृथिवीपते॥ दृष्ट्वा दुर्योधनं चैव भीमग्रस्तं महाहवे। राजगृद्धी भृशं चैव शल्यवाक्यप्रचोदितः॥ अजातशत्रुमुत्सृज्य माद्रीपुत्रौ च पाण्डवौ। तव पुत्रं परित्रातुमभ्यधावत वीर्यवान्।॥
