The bold and egoist Karna filled with anger when he saw his son killed by Arjuna before his eyes and he suddenly made a fierce attack on Arjuna.
रथं रथेनाशु जगाम् रोषात् किरीटिनः पुत्रवधाभितप्तः। तत समक्षं स्वसुतं विलोक्य कर्णो हतं श्वेतहयेन संख्ये। संरम्भमागम्य रपं महात्मा कृष्णार्जुनौ सहसैवाभ्यधावत्॥
