Are not capable, O Sanjaya, of standing before Bhima. They all know the dreadful prowess, equal to that of ten thousand elephants of Bhima possessed of the energy of Maruta himself. They also know his cruel purposes. Why did then those then those warriors, cognizant of Bhima's mighty anger and energy, incite the anger of the hero of cruel deeds, that warrior resembling Yama at the end of a Yuga? I seems that are mighty-armed Karna, relying on the strength of his own arms.
न शक्ताः प्रमुखे स्थातुं नूनं भीमस्य संजय। तेऽपि चास्य महाघोरं बलं नागायुतोपमम्॥ जानन्तो व्यवसायं च क्रूरं मारुततेजसः। किमर्थ क्रूरकर्माणं यमकालान्तकोपमम्॥ बलसंरम्भवीर्यज्ञाः कोपयिष्यन्ति संयुगे। कर्णस्त्वेको महाबाहुः स्वबाहुबलदर्पितः॥
