There, O venerable one, we beheld a wonder of the son of the charioteer: that alone, enraged in battle, he held off three chariots. Phalguna, the mighty-armed, struck Karna Vaikartana in battle with a hundred arrows in all his vital points. The son of the charioteer, his limbs all drenched in blood, valiant hero, struck Phalguna in return with fifty arrows. Then Partha, having cut his bow, pierced him in the breast with nine arrows — Dhananjaya, the hero, pressing on.

A hundred arrows against fifty — Arjuna prevails, yet Karna, streaming with blood, answers: a contest of the worthy is never one-sided. It is telling that the word "wonder" is used of Karna, who alone held off three chariots — even the opponent is moved to admiration. The verse teaches that one man's superiority does not diminish another's valor; in the clash of the great, both display greatness, so that even the one defeated earns wonder rather than contempt.
