Then valorous Bhimasena pierced Karna in battle with thirty-two sharp, keenly honed broad-headed arrows. Effortlessly, Karna in turn showered arrows on mighty-armed Bhimasena, who longed for the death of the Sindhu king. And Radheya fought Bhima in battle gently at first, while Bhima, remembering the old enmity, fought wrathfully from the start.

Again "mṛdupūrvaṃ rādheyaḥ" — Karna fights gently at first: the secret vow to Kunti governs his hand, while Bhima "krodhapūrvam," is full of wrath over the past. It is telling that beneath the visible enmity lies a restrained love of kin. The verse teaches that a noble heart keeps faith with its bonds even amid strife: Karna strikes gently, remembering his promise, and this hidden faithfulness to his word raises him above the very quarrel.
