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.
