समाचिनोद्बाणगणैः शतघ्नीभिश्च शङ्कुभिः ॥ ७.१३३.४२ ॥
He, making that most hostile one chariotless, smiling, covered him over with multitudes of arrows, with iron clubs and with spikes.

तथाप्यतिरथः कर्णो भिद्यमानोऽस्य सायकैः ।
न जहौ समरे भीमं क्रुद्धरूपं परन्तपः ॥ ७.१३३.४३ ॥
Yet Karṇa, the great charioteer, though pierced by his arrows, did not abandon Bhīma in battle, the wrathful-looking one; he was a scorcher of foes.
