"Of all the Parthas Phalguna is the strongest; at him I shall release the unfailing spear fashioned by Shakra. When that great bowman is slain, his brothers, o giver of honor, will become subject to you or again go into the forest. While I am living, Kauravya, do not despair in the least; I shall conquer in battle the united, all the Pandavas."

Karna stakes everything on Indra's spear, kept in reserve for Arjuna: one hope, one weapon. Telling is "mayi jivati... visadam ma krthah" — while I live, do not despair: he becomes the friend's sole support. The verse teaches that hope hung upon a single weapon and a single life is precarious; and one who bids a friend not to despair "while I live" already senses how fragile that "while" is.
