Karna and Bhima Rain Arrows on Each Other

Dhritarashtra laments his own misjudgement and asks Sanjaya to tell him how the heroes fell. Sanjaya describes Karna and Bhima showering arrows on each other while Duryodhana's warriors are cut down and flee, then stand off to watch. The field becomes a river of blood strewn with broken chariots, weapons and ornaments, and the Charanas and Siddhas marvel at the fight.

धृतराष्ट्र उवाच · Dhritarashtra said

Verse 1 (7.138.1)

महानपनयः सूत ममैवात्र विशेषतः । स इदानीमनुप्राप्तो मन्ये सञ्जय शोचतः ॥

mahānapanayaḥ sūta mamaivātra viśeṣataḥ | sa idānīmanuprāpto manye sañjaya śocataḥ

Suta, this is a great blunder, and mine above all. Now, Sanjaya, I think it has overtaken me, and I am left to grieve.

Note on the text: Joined from the two half-verse rows the input printed separately (the page is poem-only and the input parser made each half-verse its own row); text as printed on the page (7-138-1a/b). Identical to CE 7.113.1. The page's speaker heading "धृतराष्ट्र उवाच" (printed with the stray mark "7-138-1x") makes the speaker Dhritarashtra.

Verse 2 (7.138.2)

यद्गतं तद्गतमिति ममासीन्मनसि स्थितम् । इदानीमत्र किं कार्यं प्रकरिष्यामि सञ्जय ॥

yadgataṃ tadgatamiti mamāsīnmanasi sthitam | idānīmatra kiṃ kāryaṃ prakariṣyāmi sañjaya

"What is gone is gone" — so I had settled it in my mind. But now, Sanjaya, what is there for me to do in this?

Verse 3 (7.138.3)

यथा ह्येष क्षयो वृत्तो ममापनयसंभवः । वीराणां तन्ममाचश्व स्थिरीभूतोऽस्मि सञ्जय ॥

yathā hyeṣa kṣayo vṛtto mamāpanayasaṃbhavaḥ | vīrāṇāṃ tanmamācaśva sthirībhūto'smi sañjaya

Tell me, Sanjaya, how this destruction of the heroes, which has sprung from my own misconduct, came about. I have grown steady enough to hear it.

Note on the text: Joined from the two half-verse rows the input printed separately (the page is poem-only and the input parser made each half-verse its own row); text as printed on the page (7-138-3a/b). Line 1 reads "ह्येष" where CE 7.113.3a reads "tv eṣa" — a recension variant, kept; line 2 = CE 7.113.3c. The next page line is the speaker heading "सञ्जय उवाच" (no verse number), which makes Sanjaya the speaker from verse 4 on.

सञ्जय उवाच · Sanjaya said

Verse 4 (7.138.4)

कर्णभीमौ महाराज पराक्रान्तौ महाबलौ । वाणवर्षाण्यसृजतां वृष्टिमन्ताविवाम्बुदौ ॥

karṇabhīmau mahārāja parākrāntau mahābalau | vāṇavarṣāṇyasṛjatāṃ vṛṣṭimantāvivāmbudau

O great king, Karna and Bhima, both mighty and valiant, loosed showers of arrows like two rain-bearing clouds.

Note on the text: Joined from the two half-verse rows the input printed separately (the page is poem-only and the input parser made each half-verse its own row); text as printed on the page (7-138-4a/b). Corrected कर्णाभीमौ → कर्णभीमौ (misprint in Wikisource; stray ā; CE karṇabhīmau). CE 7.113.4a reads "parākrāntau mahāhave" and 4c "bāṇavarṣāṇy avarṣetām" — recension variants (वाण is the page's spelling of बाण), kept. Speaker: Sanjaya, per the page's heading "सञ्जय उवाच" before this verse.

Verse 5 (7.138.5)

भीमनामाङ्किता बाणाः स्वर्णपुङ्खाः शिलाशिताः । विविशुः कर्णमासाद्य च्छिन्दन्त इव जीवितम् ॥

bhīmanāmāṅkitā bāṇāḥ svarṇapuṅkhāḥ śilāśitāḥ | viviśuḥ karṇamāsādya cchindanta iva jīvitam

Arrows marked with Bhima's name, gold-feathered and sharpened on stone, reached Karna and sank into him, as if cutting at his very life.

Note on the text: Joined from the two half-verse rows the input printed separately (the page is poem-only and the input parser made each half-verse its own row); text as printed on the page (7-138-5a/b). The page ends line 2 with । instead of ॥; set ॥. Line 1 = CE 7.113.5a; line 2 reads "च्छिन्दन्त" where CE 5c reads "bhindanta" — a variant, kept.

Verse 6 (7.138.6)

तथैव कर्णनिर्मुक्ताः शरा बर्हिणवाससः । छादयांचक्रिरे वीरं शतशोऽथ सहस्रशः ॥

tathaiva karṇanirmuktāḥ śarā barhiṇavāsasaḥ | chādayāṃcakrire vīraṃ śataśo'tha sahasraśaḥ

In the same way, arrows loosed by Karna, fledged with peacock feathers, covered that hero by the hundreds and by the thousands.

Note on the text: Joined from the two half-verse rows the input printed separately (the page is poem-only and the input parser made each half-verse its own row); text as printed on the page (7-138-6a/b). The input row carried the stray marker text "7-38-6a" (a mistyped verse tag) inside the Sanskrit; removed it. The page's wording differs from CE 7.113.6 ("tathaiva karṇanirmuktaiḥ saviṣair iva pannagaiḥ / ākīryata raṇe bhīmaḥ śataśo 'tha sahasraśaḥ"): only the opening "tathaiva karṇanirmukta-" and "śataśo 'tha sahasraśaḥ" are shared; a recension variant, Wikisource's reading kept.

Verse 7 (7.138.7)

तयोः शरैर्महाराज संपतद्भिः समन्ततः । बभूव तत्र सैन्यानां संक्षोभः सागरोत्तरः ॥

tayoḥ śarairmahārāja saṃpatadbhiḥ samantataḥ | babhūva tatra sainyānāṃ saṃkṣobhaḥ sāgarottaraḥ

Verse 8 (7.138.8)

भीमचापच्युतैर्वाणैस्तव सैन्यमरिंदम । अवध्यत चमूमध्ये घोरैराशीविषोपमैः ॥

Corrected घोररुशीविषोषमैः → घोरैराशीविषोपमैः (misprint in Wikisource; garbled; CE ghorair āśīviṣopamaiḥ). Otherwise = CE 7.113.8.

वारणैः पतितै राजन्वाजिभिश्च नरैः सह । अदृश्यत मही कीर्णा वातभग्नैरिव द्रुमैः ॥

Verse 10 (7.138.10)

ते वध्यमानाः समरे भीमचापच्युतैः शरैः । ते शूरा हतभूयिष्ठा हताश्च रथवारणाः ॥

te vadhyamānāḥ samare bhīmacāpacyutaiḥ śaraiḥ | te śūrā hatabhūyiṣṭhā hatāśca rathavāraṇāḥ

Struck down in battle by arrows shot from Bhima's bow, those heroes were mostly slain, and their chariots and elephants destroyed.

Note on the text: Joined from the two half-verse rows the input printed separately (the page is poem-only and the input parser made each half-verse its own row); text as printed on the page (7-138-10a/b).

Corrected हताश्चरथवारणाः → हताश्च रथवारणाः (misprint in Wikisource; word space lost; "hatāś ca rathavāraṇāḥ", the chariots and elephants slain too). Line 1 = CE 7.113.10a. Line 2 corresponds to CE 7.113.12a ("te śarāturabhūyiṣṭhā hatāśvanaravāhanāḥ"), a variant; CE 7.113.10c and all of CE 7.113.11 (the rout of the Sindhu-Sauvira-Kaurava host) are not on this page.

उत्सृज्य भीमकर्णौ च सर्वतो व्यद्रवन्दिशः । नूनं पार्थार्थमेवास्मान्मोहयन्ति दिवौकसः ॥

with crest-jewels and turbans and golden cords, O honoured one,

Note on the text: Taken from the single input row for number 22 (7-138-22a). The page prints only this one line for number 22, and prints no number 21 at all; nothing is lost in the sense, since the CE too reads straight on from the previous line (star passage *0891_01) to this one. Corrected खर्णसूत्रैः → स्वर्णसूत्रैः (misprint in Wikisource; ख for स्व; CE svarṇasūtraiḥ). Not in the critical edition's main text; the line appears there as the single-line star passage 7.113.21b*0891_02 (after 7.113.21b*0891_01). No verse is restored: Wikisource's number 21 is simply absent from the page.

Corrected परतितैः → पतितैः (misprint in Wikisource; stray र; CE patitair). Corrected अपविध्दैः → अपविद्धैः (misprint in Wikisource; ध्द for द्ध). Line 1 corresponds to CE 7.113.23c ("patitair apaviddhaiś ca saṃbabhau dyaur iva grahaiḥ"; page "विबभौ" for "saṃbabhau", a variant, kept); line 2 = CE 7.113.24a.

āsīdbhīmasahāyasya raudramādhirathergatam | nipātitadhvajarathaṃ hatavājinaradvipam

so was the dreadful course of Adhiratha's son, with Bhima as his companion in that fight — banners and chariots thrown down, horses, men and elephants slain.

Verse 27 (7.138.27)

गजाभ्यां संप्रयुक्ताभ्यामासीन्नलवनं यथा । तथारूपं महत्सैन्यमासीत्तव नराधिप ॥

gajābhyāṃ saṃprayuktābhyāmāsīnnalavanaṃ yathā | tathārūpaṃ mahatsainyamāsīttava narādhipa

Like a reed-forest trampled by two elephants locked in combat, O ruler of men, so did your great army become.

Verse 28 (7.138.28)

विमर्दः कर्णभीमाभ्यामासीच्च परमो रणे ॥

vimardaḥ karṇabhīmābhyāmāsīcca paramo raṇe

And the havoc that Karna and Bhima wrought in that battle was supreme.

Note on the text: Taken from the single input row for number 29 (7-138-29a; trailing spaces trimmed). The page prints only this one line for number 29 and then ends with no colophon. = CE 7.113.26e, which is likewise a single line (it shares CE verse 26 with the preceding verse).
