O king of kings, when at noon Karna rose from the water and worshipped the author of the day possessed of rays with joined palms, the Brahmanas prayed to him for riches. And at that time there was nothing that he would not bestow on the twice-born ones.
यदा च कर्णो राजेन्द्र भानुमन्तं दिवाकरम्। स्तौति मध्यन्दिने प्राप्ते प्राञ्जलिः सलिले स्थितः॥ तत्रैनमुपतिष्ठन्ति ब्राह्मणा धनहेतुना। नादेयं तस्य तत्काले किञ्चिदस्ति द्विजातिषु॥
