एवमेष क्षयो वृत्तः कर्णार्जुनसमागमे। महेन्द्रेण यथा वृत्रो यथा रामेण रावणः॥ यथा कृष्णेन नरको मुस्श्च नरकारिणा। कार्तवीर्यश्च रामेण भार्गवेण यथा हतः॥ सज्ञातिबान्धवः शूर समरे युद्धदुर्मदः। रणे कृत्वा महद् युद्धं घोरं त्रैलोक्यमोहनम्॥ यथा स्कन्देन महिषो यथा रुद्रेण चान्धकः। तथाऽर्जुनेन सहतो द्वैरथे युद्धदुर्मदः॥ सामात्यबान्धवो राजन् कर्णः प्रहरतां वरः।
evameṣa kṣayo vṛttaḥ karṇārjunasamāgame| mahendreṇa yathā vṛtro yathā rāmeṇa rāvaṇaḥ|| yathā kṛṣṇena narako musśca narakāriṇā| kārtavīryaśca rāmeṇa bhārgaveṇa yathā hataḥ|| sajñātibāndhavaḥ śūra samare yuddhadurmadaḥ| raṇe kṛtvā mahad yuddhaṃ ghoraṃ trailokyamohanam|| yathā skandena mahiṣo yathā rudreṇa cāndhakaḥ| tathā'rjunena sahato dvairathe yuddhadurmadaḥ|| sāmātyabāndhavo rājan karṇaḥ praharatāṃ varaḥ|
Thus this destruction was brought about, while Karna and Arjuna fought against each other, even as Vritra was slain by Mahendra or as Ravana by Rama or as Naraka and Mura were slain by Krishna in battle, or as Kartavirjya of mighty strength by Rama of the Bhrigu race. That hero (Kartavirya), who is incapable of being vanquished, had fallen with all his friends and relatives, after having fought a great and terrible battle, renowned in the three worlds. Mahisha was slain by Skanda, as Andhaka by Rudra; even as that hero invincible in battle, was slain by Arjuna in a single engagement of two cars.' O, king that great smiter of enemies Karna, who was the hope of victory of all the Dhartarashtras and the cause of that hostilities, (was slain) with all his counselors and friends.

जयाशा धार्तराष्ट्राणां वैरस्य च मुखं यतः॥ तीर्णस्तत् पाण्डवो राजन् यत् पुरा नावबुध्यसे। उच्यमानो महाराज बन्धुभिर्हितकाटिभिः॥ तदिदं समनुप्राप्तं व्यसनं सुमहात्मययम्।
jayāśā dhārtarāṣṭrāṇāṃ vairasya ca mukhaṃ yataḥ|| tīrṇastat pāṇḍavo rājan yat purā nāvabudhyase| ucyamāno mahārāja bandhubhirhitakāṭibhiḥ|| tadidaṃ samanuprāptaṃ vyasanaṃ sumahātmayayam|
The awful ocean has now been crossed over by the sons of Pandu. O great king, although you were told by all your well-wishing friends all this, yet you could not realise before the nature of this calamity, which has not befallen you, bringing about a great slaughter (of your troops).

पुत्राणां राज्यकामानां त्वया राजन् हितैषिणा॥ अहितान्येव चीर्णानि तेषां तत् फलमागतम्॥
putrāṇāṃ rājyakāmānāṃ tvayā rājan hitaiṣiṇā|| ahitānyeva cīrṇāni teṣāṃ tat phalamāgatam||
O monarch, it is by you, who are desirous of doing good to your sons, that mischief's have been wrought upon them, most covetous of kingdom as they are. The consequence of those mischief have now come.
