Nothing need be told about fighting; men cannot look towards the great god the three eyed and terrible Sarva, also called the Kaparddin. You have satisfied in battle that god of gods the Siva, deity Sthanu, the creator of the happiness of all creatures. O Partha, as Indra slew Namuchi so you will, O, you of powerful arms, by the kindness of the great god who is armed with trident, kill Karna and be victorious; and may it farewell with you.
भीममुग्रं महात्मानं त्र्यक्षं शर्व कपर्दिनम्॥ न शक्ता द्रष्टमीशानं किं पुनर्योधित प्रभुम्। त्वया साक्षान्महादेव सर्वभूतशिवः शिवः॥ युद्धेनाराधितः स्थाणुर्देवाश्च वरदास्तव। तस्य पार्थ प्रसादेन देवदवस्य शूलिनः॥ जहि कर्णं महाबाहो नमुचिं वृत्रहा यथा। श्रेयस्तेऽस्तु सदा पार्थ युद्धे जयमवाप्नुहि॥
