"We have set out toward the southern quarter ruled by Agastya, O Janardana; soon we shall reach the abode of Yama. I, the other kings, and this whole assembly of kshatriyas shall enter the fire of the Gandiva: of this I have no doubt." Krishna said: "Surely, today this earth stands before its destruction, since my words, O Karna, do not enter your heart. When the destruction of all beings draws near, dear one, unrighteousness, wearing the semblance of wisdom, does not depart from the heart." Karna said: "Perhaps, O Krishna, we shall yet see one another alive, having come through this great battle, this destruction that annihilates heroes, O mighty-armed one."

Karna no longer argues against Krishna's truth; instead he reads the world as a field of inevitable omens. His speech joins astrological signs, prophetic dreams, and moral insight: victory follows dharma, yet his own attachment and debt of gratitude keep him from changing sides.
