O Phalguna, that you have met with and slain that Karna in battle and thereby quench the flame of vindictiveness blazing within my heart being fanned by the wind of mortification. Assure me,
अमर्षजं निकृतिमसीरणेरितं हृदिस्थितं ज्वलनमिमं सदा मम। हतोमया सोऽद्य समेत्य कर्ण इति ब्रुवन् प्रशमयसेऽद्य फाल्गुन॥
