And having seen [among] the Kurus, Sauviras, and Sindhus the destruction of the army, the earth strewn with the fallen [and their] armor, banners, weapons, and having beheld everywhere the lifeless bodies of elephants, horses, and men — a blazing form arose in the son of the suta, from fury. He, having drawn the great bow adorned with gold, gazed at Bhima, Radheya, O king, with a terrible eye. Then, enraged, hurling arrows, the son of the suta shone like the autumn sun, radiant, having reached midday.

The sight of the field strewn with bodies inflames Karna into a blazing form — but grief for the fallen turns not into reflection, only into fresh fury. The comparison to the midday autumn sun is telling: the peak of brilliance is also the eve of its setting. The verse teaches that sorrow not transmuted into insight only fans anger; and one who, seeing the fruits of war, answers them by multiplying war, shines as terribly as noon — after which sunset is unavoidable.
