Karṇa's Burden 14: karṇaḥ

14

samaramukhamasahyaṃ pāṇḍavānāṃ praviśya
prathitaguṇagaṇāḍhayaṃ dharmarājaṃ ca baddhvā |
mama śaravaravegairarjunaṃ pātayitvā
vanamiva hatāsiṃhaṃ supraveśaṃ karomi || 14 ||

Having entered the unbearable vanguard of the Pāṇḍavas' battle, / and captured Dharmarāja, rich in a host of celebrated virtues, / and having struck down Arjuna with the fury of my best arrows, / I shall make it easy to enter, like a forest whose lion has been slain! || 14
