[Karna:] As a blazing, high-burning fire consumes trees, O hero, so the arrows of the Crowned One [Arjuna] will burn the sons of Dhritarashtra to ashes. Wherever wind and fire move together through the forest, there these two mighty lords burn up everything they wish. Whatever kind of fire is blazing, such, indeed, is Partha [Arjuna] — no doubt; and as is the wind, O tiger among men, so is Krishna — no doubt.

The union of fire and wind is an image of Arjuna and Krishna, inseparable and all-consuming: wind does not extinguish fire but fans it, and so Krishna multiplies Arjuna's might to the point of invincibility. It is telling that Karna twice repeats "no doubt": he sees the truth of this pair clearly, without self-deception. Yet in likening Krishna to the wind-element, he still conceives of Him as a force of nature, not perceiving in Him the Lord of the elements. The verse teaches that the devotee and his Lord, joined together, manifest a power nothing can withstand, like fire carried by the wind; and that even one who clearly sees Krishna's might may fail to understand that before him stands not an element, but the One who rules the elements.
