Having seen your sons fallen, the valiant Karna, seized by great anger, was filled with disgust for life. The son of Adhiratha then thought of himself as though guilty, and, enraged, charged at Bhimasena in agitation. Having pierced Bhima with five arrows, Radheya, as though laughing, again pierced him with seventy, golden-fletched and whetted on stone.

Karna blames himself for the death of those he failed to protect -- "as if guilty": conscience is alive even in a fearsome warrior. It is telling that disgust with life at once turns into a furious charge into battle: guilt not turned into repentance seeks its outlet in fresh bloodshed. The verse teaches that the rebuke of conscience calls not for a desperate impulse but for a change of course; anger at oneself, poured out on an enemy, only multiplies the very thing that pains the conscience.
