In addressing Krishna, that Karna, the son of Suta, vaunting of his own superiority, with the approbation of Dhritarashtra, had indulged himself (in the expression), "O Krishna, you are now without a husband.” My sharpened arrows will falsify today that vile expression of his and like the foaming snake, surcharged with active poison, will feast on his blood.
अपतिहसि कृष्णेति सूतपुत्रो यदब्रवीत्। धृतराष्ट्रमते कर्णः श्लाघमानः स्वकान् गुणान्॥ अनृतं तत् करिष्यन्ति मामका निशिताः शराः। आशीविषा इव क्रुद्धास्तस्य पास्यन्ति शोणितम्।। २३
