तं कर्णश् छादयाम् आस शरव्रातैर् अनेकशः ॥
संछाद्यमानः कर्णेन बहुधा पाण्डुनन्दनः ॥
चिच्छेद चापं कर्णस्य मुष्टिदेशे महारथः ॥
विव्याध चैनं बहुभिः सायकैर् नतपर्वभिः ॥
अथान्यद् धनुर् आदाय सज्यं कृत्वा च सूतजः ॥
विव्याध समरे भीमं भीमकर्मा महारथः ॥
तस्य भीमो भृशं क्रुद्धस् त्रीञ् शरान् नतपर्वणः ॥
निचखानोरसि तदा सूतपुत्रस्य वेगितः ॥

Karna enveloped him with many swarms of arrows; being enveloped by Karna again and again, the delight of Pandu severed Karna's bow at the very grip, the great warrior, and struck him with many smooth-jointed arrows. Then, taking another bow and stringing it, the son of the suta, himself of terrible deeds, the great warrior, struck Bhima in battle.

The duel sways: now Karna envelops with arrows, now Bhima cuts his bow. It is telling that between equals advantage is fleeting. The verse teaches that in the clash of the worthy there is no easy triumph: fortune passes from hand to hand, and every blow meets an equal answer — for the greatness of the battle lies in the equality of those who meet, not in the superiority of one.
