"The arrows released by the bowman with Gandiva, and those let loose by the great chariot-warriors and directed by Drona and Drauni, will here be the paristomas. Satyaki will perform the pratiprasthanika rite. The son of Dhritarashtra will here be the one consecrated, and his great army will be his wife. In the extended night sacrifice, O mighty-armed one, the mighty Ghatotkacha will perform the office of shamitar. The sacrificial fee for this sacrifice will be the powerful Dhrishtadyumna, born of fire in the extended solemn rite, O Krishna. The harsh words I spoke against the Pandavas, in order to please the son of Dhritarashtra, torment me today because of that very deed."

Karna speaks from within a complex dharma: he acknowledges the truth Krishna has revealed, yet does not set aside his debt of gratitude to those who raised and sustained him. His image of the war as a sacrifice shows that the battle is already being lived by him as an inevitable, sacred and terrible reckoning for choices made long ago.
