At him Bhima, fiercely enraged and swift, drove three smooth-jointed arrows into the chest of the son of the suta. With those arrows lodged in the midst of his chest, Karna then shone like a lofty three-peaked mountain, O bull among the Bharatas. And his blood flowed, pierced by those excellent arrows, like streaks of red ochre from a mountain oozing ore.

The arrows in Karna's chest turn into beauty: he shines 'triśṛṅgo mahīdharaḥ iva', like a three-peaked mountain, his blood flowing 'gairikarājayaḥ', like ochre veins upon rock. It is telling that the hero's wounds are an ornament of his valor. The verse teaches that trial does not disfigure the steadfast but crowns him: wounded, he resembles a majestic mountain streaked in crimson, for a spirit unshaken by the blow turns the wound itself into a mark of greatness.
