'Let this task be mine.' So saying, Bhishma asked: 'What do you say, O Karna?' Your mind grows clouded as your hour draws near. Do you not know, O Karna, that when the leader is slain, all the sons of Dhritarashtra will be slain? Having heard of the feat accomplished by Dhananjaya, with Krishna alone as his ally, in the burning of the Khandava forest, you ought, together with your friends and kinsmen, to restrain your mind. The shaft that the illustrious and adored lord of the gods, the great Indra, gave you will, as you shall see, be shattered and reduced to ashes when struck by Keshava's discus.
