Крипа
गर्जित्वा सूतपुत्र त्वं शारदाभ्रम् इवाजलम् ॥
निष्फलो दृश्यसे कर्ण तच् च राजा न बुध्यते ॥
तावद् गर्जसि राधेय यावत् पार्थं न पश्यसि ॥
पुरा पार्थं हि ते दृष्ट्वा दुर्लभं गर्जितं भवेत् ॥
त्वम् अनासाद्य तान् बाणान् फल्गुनस्य विगर्जसि ॥
पार्थसायकविद्धस्य दुर्लभं गर्जितं भवेत् ॥
बाहुभिः क्षत्रियाः शूरा वाग्भिः शूरा द्विजातयः ॥
धनुषा फल्गुनः शूरः कर्णः शूरो मनोरथैः ॥
garjitvā sūtaputra tvaṃ śāradābhram ivājalam ||
niṣphalo dṛśyase karṇa tac ca rājā na budhyate ||
tāvad garjasi rādheya yāvat pārthaṃ na paśyasi ||
purā pārthaṃ hi te dṛṣṭvā durlabhaṃ garjitaṃ bhavet ||
tvam anāsādya tān bāṇān phalgunasya vigarjasi ||
pārthasāyakaviddhasya durlabhaṃ garjitaṃ bhavet ||
bāhubhiḥ kṣatriyāḥ śūrā vāgbhiḥ śūrā dvijātayaḥ ||
dhanuṣā phalgunaḥ śūraḥ karṇaḥ śūro manorathaiḥ ||
"Having thundered, son of the charioteer, like a waterless autumn cloud, you appear fruitless, Karna — and this the king does not perceive. So long you thunder, Radheya, as long as you have not seen Partha; for once you have seen Partha, your thundering will become rare. You thunder without having faced those arrows of Phalguna; but for one pierced by Partha's arrows, the thundering will become rare. By their arms kshatriyas are brave, by words are brave the twice-born; by the bow Phalguna is brave, Karna is brave only by daydreams."

Kripa crowns his rebuke with a sharp word: "by the bow Arjuna is brave, Karna only by daydreams." Telling is the contrast of bravery by arms, by word, and by fancy: each has his own, and Karna's portion is the empty one. The verse teaches that valor is measured by deed, not imagination; and one brave only "by daydreams" is like a thundering, waterless cloud — noisy but fruitless, its thunder silenced at the sight of the foe.
