ततस् तम् एवाधिरथिः स्यन्दनं दुर्मुखे हते ॥
आस्थितः प्रबभौ राजन् दीप्यमान इवांशुमान् ॥
शयानं भिन्नमर्माणं दुर्मुखं शोणितोक्षितम् ॥
दृष्ट्वा कर्णो ऽश्रुपूर्णाक्षो मुहूर्तं नाभ्यवर्तत ॥
तं गतासुम् अतिक्रम्य कृत्वा कर्णः प्रदक्षिणम् ॥
दीर्घम् उष्णं श्वसन् वीरो न किं चित् प्रत्यपद्यत ॥
tatas tam evādhirathiḥ syandanaṃ durmukhe hate ||
āsthitaḥ prababhau rājan dīpyamāna ivāṃśumān ||
śayānaṃ bhinnamarmāṇaṃ durmukhaṃ śoṇitokṣitam ||

Then, when Durmukha was slain, the son of Adhiratha, mounting that same chariot, shone forth, O king, like a blazing sun. Seeing Durmukha lying there, his vital parts pierced, drenched in blood, Karna, his eyes full of tears, for a moment did not move forward. Passing by him, now lifeless, having made a reverent circling, the hero, breathing long and hot, did nothing at all.

Karna mounts the chariot bought at the price of a brother's blood, and shines like the sun — yet at once freezes in tears over the fallen. This division is telling: the formidable warrior, whose strength is purchased by another's death, is for a moment stunned by grief, unable either to advance or retreat. The verse teaches that human sorrow lives even in the most implacable warrior; but sorrow not turned into repentance only circles the dead in reverence and returns to the very deed that killed him.
