1.147.1
ततः स्रस्तोत्तरपटः सप्रस्वेदः सवेपथुः ।
विवेशाधिरथो रङ्गं यष्टिप्राणो ह्वयन्निव ॥ १.१४७.१ ॥
Then Adhiratha entered the arena, his upper garment slipped loose, sweating and trembling, calling out as though his life were in his staff.
1.147.2
तमालोक्य धनुस्त्यक्त्वा पितृगौरवयन्त्रितः ।
कर्णोऽभिषेकार्द्रशिराः शिरसा समवन्दत ॥ १.१४७.२ ॥
Seeing him, Karṇa, bound by reverence for his father, laid down his bow, and with his head still wet from the consecration, bowed his head in salutation.
1.147.3
ततः पादाववच्छाद्य पटान्तेन ससंभ्रमः ।
पुत्रेति परिपूर्णार्थमब्रवीद्रथसारथिम् ॥ १.१४७.३ ॥
Then, covering his feet with the end of his garment, Adhiratha in agitation spoke to the charioteer, full of meaning, calling him 'son'.
1.147.4

अङ्गराज्याभिषेकार्द्रमश्रुभिः सिषिचे पुनः ॥ १.१४७.४ ॥
Then, overcome with affection, he embraced him and once again sprinkled his head, still wet from the consecration as king of Aṅga, with tears.
1.147.5
तं दृष्ट्वा सूतपुत्रोऽयमिति संचिन्त्य पाण्डवः ।
भीमसेनस्तदा वाक्यमब्रवीत्प्रहसन्निव ॥ १.१४७.५ ॥
Seeing him and thinking, 'This is the charioteer's son,' Bhīmasena, the Pāṇḍava, then spoke these words, as if laughing.
1.147.6
न त्वमर्हसि पार्थेन सूतपुत्र रणे वधम् ।
कुलस्य सदृशस्तूर्णं प्रतोदो गृह्यतां त्वया ॥ १.१४७.६ ॥
Son of a charioteer, it is not fitting that you should meet death in battle at the hands of Pārtha. Quickly take up the goad, as befits your lineage.
1.147.7
अङ्गराज्यं च नार्हस्त्वमुपभोक्तुं नराधम ।
श्वा हुताशसमीपस्थं पुरोडाशमिवाध्वरे ॥ १.१४७.७ ॥
Base one, you do not deserve to enjoy the kingdom of Aṅga, any more than a dog deserves the sacrificial cake placed near the fire at the sacrifice.
1.147.8
एवमुक्तस्ततः कर्णः किंचित्प्रस्फुरिताधरः ।
गगनस्थं विनिःश्वस्य दिवाकरमुदैक्षत ॥ १.१४७.८ ॥
Thus addressed, Karṇa's lips trembled a little; he sighed deeply and gazed up at the sun, which stood in the sky.
1.147.9
ततो दुर्योधनः कोपादुत्पपात महाबलः ।
भ्रातृपद्मवनात्तस्मान्मदोत्कट इव द्विपः ॥ १.१४७.९ ॥
Then mighty Duryodhana leapt up in anger, like a maddened elephant rising from the lotus-grove of his brothers.

वृकोदर न युक्तं ते वचनं वक्तुमीदृशम् ॥ १.१४७.१० ॥
He said to Bhīmasena, the doer of terrible deeds, who stood there: "Wolf-belly, it is not fitting for you to speak such words."
1.147.11
क्षत्रियाणां बलं ज्यष्ठं योक्तव्यं क्षत्रबन्धुना ।
शूराणां च नदीनां च प्रभवो दुर्विभावनः ॥ १.१४७.११ ॥
The strength of the warriors is the greatest, and it must be wielded by a kṣatriya in name only; the source of heroes and of rivers is hard to discern.
1.147.12
सलिलादुत्थितो वह्निर्येन व्याप्तं चराचरम् ।
दधीचस्यास्थितो वज्रं कृतं दानवसूदनम् ॥ १.१४७.१२ ॥
The fire that arose from the waters, by which the moving and unmoving world is pervaded; and the thunderbolt made from the bones of Dadhīca, which slew the Dānavas.
1.147.13
आग्नेयः कृत्तिकापुत्रो रौद्रो गाङ्गेय इत्यपि ।
श्रूयते भगवान्देवः सर्वगुह्यमयो गुहः ॥ १.१४७.१३ ॥
He is said to be the son of Agni, the son of the Kṛttikās, the fierce son, and also the son of the Gaṅgā. The blessed god Guha is heard of, full of all secrets.
1.147.14
क्षत्रियेभ्यश्च ये जाता ब्राह्मणास्ते च ते श्रुताः ।
विश्वामित्रप्रभृतयः प्राप्ता ब्रह्मत्वमव्ययम् ॥ १.१४७.१४ ॥

आचार्यः कलशाज्जातो द्रोणः शस्त्रभृतां वरः ।
गौतमस्यान्ववाये च शरस्तम्बाच्च गौतमः ॥ १.१४७.१५ ॥
The teacher Droṇa, the best of weapon-bearers, was born from a pot; and in the lineage of Gautama, Gautama was born from a clump of reeds.
1.147.16
भवतां च यथा जन्म तदप्यागमितं मया ।
सकुण्डलं सकवचं सर्वलक्षणलक्षितम्।
कथमादित्यसदृशं मृगी व्याघ्रं जनिष्यति ॥ १.१४७.१६ ॥
I have also reported how you were born. How will a doe give birth to a tiger — one with earrings and armour, marked with all auspicious signs, like the sun?
1.147.17
पृथिवीराज्यमर्होऽयं नाङ्गराज्यं नरेश्वरः ।
अनेन बाहुवीर्येण मया चाज्ञानुवर्तिना ॥ १.१४७.१७ ॥
This lord of men is worthy of kingship over the earth, not merely the kingdom of Aṅga — by this strength of his arms, and by his following my command.
1.147.18
यस्य वा मनुजस्येदं न क्षान्तं मद्विचेष्टितम् ।
रथमारुह्य पद्भ्यां स विनामयतु कार्मुकम् ॥ १.१४७.१८ ॥
Whatever man has not tolerated this action of mine, let him mount a chariot or stand on foot and bend his bow.
1.147.19
ततः सर्वस्य रङ्गस्य हाहाकारो महानभूत् ।
साधुवादानुसंबद्धः सूर्यश्चास्तमुपागमत् ॥ १.१४७.१९ ॥
Then a great uproar of dismay arose throughout the whole arena, mingled with cries of approval, and the sun went down.
1.147.20
ततो दुर्योधनः कर्णमालम्ब्याग्रकरे नृपः ।
दीपिकाभिः कृतालोकस्तस्माद्रङ्गाद्विनिर्ययौ ॥ १.१४७.२० ॥
Then King Duryodhana, leaning on Karṇa's arm with his hand held out before him, went out of that arena, lit by torches.
1.147.21
पाण्डवाश्च सहद्रोणाः सकृपाश्च विशांपते ।
भीष्मेण सहिताः सर्वे ययुः स्वं स्वं निवेशनम् ॥ १.१४७.२१ ॥
And the Pāṇḍavas, together with Droṇa and Kṛpa, all accompanied by Bhīṣma, O lord of the people, went each to his own dwelling.
1.147.22
अर्जुनेति जनः कश्चित्कश्चित्कर्णेति भारत ।
कश्चिद्दुर्योधनेत्येवं ब्रुवन्तः प्रस्थितास्तदा ॥ १.१४७.२२ ॥
Some went away crying 'Arjuna!', some 'Karṇa!', and some 'Duryodhana!', O Bhārata.
1.147.23
कुन्त्याश्च प्रत्यभिज्ञाय दिव्यलक्षणसूचितम् ।
पुत्रमङ्गेश्वरं स्नेहाच्छन्ना प्रीतिरजायत ॥ १.१४७.२३ ॥
Kuntī recognized her son, marked out by divine signs and lord of Aṅga, and a love long hidden by affection stirred within her.
1.147.24
दुर्योधनस्यापि तदा कर्णमासाद्य पार्थिव ।
भयमर्जुनसंजातं क्षिप्रमन्तरधीयत ॥ १.१४७.२४ ॥
And Duryodhana's fear of Arjuna, O king, vanished swiftly once he had approached Karṇa.
1.147.25
स चापि वीरः कृतशस्त्रनिश्रमः ।
परेण साम्नाऽभ्यवदत्सुयोधनम्।
युधिष्ठिरस्याप्यभवत्तदा मति-
र्न कर्णतुल्योऽस्ति धनुर्धरः क्षितौ ॥ १.१४७.२५ ॥
That hero, who had labored at the exercise of weapons, spoke to Duryodhana in the gentlest of words. At that time Yudhiṣṭhira too held this thought: there is no archer on earth equal to Karṇa.
