शोचयत्येष नियतं भूयः पुत्रवधाद्धि माम्।
कृपणं स्वरथे सन्नं पश्य कृष्ण यथागतम् ॥ ७.१४९.२३ ॥

सीदेत समरे जिष्णो नात्र कार्या विचारणा ॥ ७.१४९.३२ ॥
O descendant of Bharata, even the army of the gods would sink in battle on encountering the army of Dhṛtarāṣṭra's sons; O victor, there should be no doubt about this.
7.149.33

तव वीर्यं बलं चैव रुद्रशक्रान्तकोपमम् ॥ ७.१४९.३५ ॥

7.149.36
नेदृशं शक्नुयात्कश्चिद्रमे कर्तुं पराक्रमम् ।
यादृशं कृतवानद्य त्वमेकः शत्रुतापनः ॥ ७.१४९.३६ ॥
No one else could perform in battle such prowess as you have performed today, alone, O tormentor of foes.
7.149.37
एवमेव हते कर्णे सानुबन्धे दुरात्मनि ।
वर्धयिष्यामि भूयस्त्वां विजितारिं हतद्विषम् ॥ ७.१४९.३७ ॥
Thus, once Karṇa, the wicked-minded one, is slain together with his followers, I will raise you up again, you who have conquered your enemies and slain your foes.
