Karna and Bhima, O great king, fierce in the great battle, poured forth showers of arrows like two rain-laden clouds. Arrows marked with Bhima's name, golden-shafted, whetted on stone, pierced into Karna as if cleaving his very life. Likewise, struck by hundreds and thousands of arrows loosed by Karna, as if by venomous serpents, Bhima was covered all over in the battle.

Bhima's arrows bear his own name -- the blow is named, aimed at one man alone: the enmity here is not impersonal but seeks a personal reckoning. It is telling that the arrows of both are alike likened to venomous serpents: deadliness does not distinguish the righteous from the guilty among the flying fangs. The verse teaches that in a clash of equals every blow is mutual, and personal enmity, however justified, pours down the same rain of death on both sides alike.
