Bhima and Karna: Seven More of Duryodhana's Brothers Fall

Verse 1 (7.136.1)

तवात्मजांस्तु पतितान्दृष्ट्वा कर्णः प्रतापवान् । क्रोधेन महताऽऽविष्टो निर्विण्णोऽभूत्स जीवितात् ॥

tavātmajāṃstu patitāndṛṣṭvā karṇaḥ pratāpavān | krodhena mahatā''viṣṭo nirviṇṇo'bhūtsa jīvitāt

Seeing your sons fallen, the glorious Karna was filled with great anger and grew weary of life.

Note on the text: Corrected जीवितो → जीवितात् (misprint in Wikisource; a wrongly ended word; CE 7.111.1c has jīvitāt, 'weary of life').

Adhiratha's son felt then as if he himself were guilty, because before his very eyes your sons had been struck down in battle by Bhima.

Paying no heed to those arrows shot by Karna, Vrikodara pierced Radheya in the battle with a straight-jointed arrow.

Then Karna, O Bharata, downcast, took up another bow and, scorcher of foes, covered Bhimasena with arrows.

Note on the text: Corrected मीमसेनं → भीमसेनं (misprint in Wikisource; the letter भ has been mistyped as म; CE 7.111.6c has bhīmasenaṃ). Line 2 reads परन्तपः where CE 7.111.6c has samantataḥ, a variant, kept.
