Seeing the advancing Pandava, like an elephant meeting a rival elephant, Karna, most unperturbed, went forth to meet Dhananjaya. As Vaikartana swiftly swooped down upon him, the resplendent Pandava, scorcher of foes, held him back with straight-flying arrows. Karna blanketed him with a net of arrows, O honored one, and, enraged, pierced him with three straight-flying arrows. That dexterity of his the Partha, exceedingly strong, could not bear; and he shot at him arrows whetted on stone, with bright tips, flying straight.

Karna and Arjuna meet like two rival elephants: the long-awaited encounter of equals. The word "asaṃbhrāntataraḥ" — Karna most unperturbed — is telling: he had long craved this battle. The verse teaches that a meeting of rivals, for which both have prepared, reveals them fully; and composure before a long-sought adversary is a sign not of arrogance but of mature readiness for the decisive trial.
