8.67.37

sahasranetrapratimānakarmaṇaḥ sahasrapatrapratimānanaṃ śubham |
sahasraraśmirdinasaṃkṣaye yathā tathāpatattasya śiro vasuṃdharām || 37 ||

Beholding the heroic Karna thrown down stretched on the earth, pierced with arrows and bathed in blood, the king of the Madras, went away on that car deprived of its standard. After the fall of Karna, the Kauravas, deeply pierced with shafts in that battle, and afflicted with fear, fled away from the field, frequently casting their eyes on that lofty standard of Arjuna that blazed with splendour. The beautiful head, graced with a face that resembled a lotus of a 1,000 petals, of Karna whose feats were like those of the thousand-eyed Indra, fell down on the earth like the thousand-rayed sun as he looks at the close of day.'"
