"Come, come, my opponent - you have vied with me; if you had not come to me, surely no good would have befallen you. You are Kaunteya, not Radheya: this is known to me from Narada, from Krishna-Dvaipayana, and from Keshava, without doubt. I bear no hatred toward you, child; I tell you the truth. The harsh words I spoke were only to temper your power. My thought was that you hated the Pandavas without cause. That is why, son of the Sun, I so often reproached you sternly. I know your valor in battle, unbearable to your foes, your piety, your courage, and your highest perfection in generosity. Among men, O godlike one, there is no one equal to you. Thinking of the difference in lineage, I always spoke to you harshly. In archery, in drawing the heavy bow, in swiftness and in the power of weapons, you are equal to Phalguna and to the magnanimous Krishna."

Bhishma lays down the outward enmity and reveals the hidden truth of Karna's birth. His former harshness was not hatred but an attempt to check a strength turned against Karna's own brothers.
