Sanskrit Original
पपात भुवि राजेन्द्र क्रुद्धः सर्प इवाम्बरात्। ततःप्रहस्याधिरथिन्यदादाय कार्मुकम्॥ शत्रुघ्नं समरे क्रुद्धो दृढज्यं वेगवत्तरम्। व्यायच्छत् स शरान् कर्णः कुन्तीपुत्रजिघांसया॥ सहस्रशो महाराज रुक्मपुङ्खान् सुतेजनान्। स वध्यमानो बलवान् कर्णचापच्युतैः शरैः॥
Dropped down on the earth like O king, an angry snake from the heavens. Then the son of Adhiratha, inflamed with rage in that battle, smilingly grasped another bow destructive of foes, having a tougher string and stronger than the one that had been cut-off. Desirous of slaying the son of Kunti, O king, Karna, then began to discharge by thousands, arrows furnished with golden wings and endued with great impetuously. Wounded with those shafts shot from Karna's bow, the puissant Bhima.
