Karṇa's Burden 25: karṇaḥ

25

śaṅkhadhvaniḥ pralayasāgaraghoṣatulyaḥ
kṛṣṇasya vā na tu bhavetsa tu phālgunasya
nūnaṃ yudhiṣṭhiraparājayakopitātmā
pārthaḥ kariṣyati yathābalamadya yuddham || 24 ||

The sound of a conch, like the roar of the ocean at cosmic dissolution— / could it be Kṛṣṇa's, or rather Phālguna's? / Surely, his spirit enraged by Yudhiṣṭhira's defeat, / Pārtha will wage battle today with all his might. || 24
