O sinless one, by you shall be vanquished in battle the highly virtuous and powerful grandsire Bhishma, born of Vasus. (You shall also defeat) Kshatriyas of fiery energy protected by the son of Baradvaja as also the highly powerful Danavas who have been born among men. The Danavas named Nivatakavachas, O descendant of Kuru; and the highly powerful Karna, who is a portion of my father who lights all the regions, shall be slain by you.
त्वया च वसुसम्भूतो महावीर्यः पितामहः। भीष्मः परमधर्मात्मा संसाध्यश्च रणेऽनघ॥ क्षत्रं चाग्निसमस्पर्श भारद्वाजेन रक्षितम्। दानवाश्च महावीर्या ये मनुष्यत्वमागताः॥ निवातकवचाश्चैव दानवाः कुरुनन्दन। पितुर्ममांशु देवस्य सर्वलोकप्रतापिनः॥ कर्णश्च सुमहावीर्यस्त्वया वध्योधनंजय।
