...and mounting the chariot again, again wrought by magic, yoked with elephant-like horses, donkeys with the faces of pishachas, he spoke to the charioteer, enraged: 'Drive me to the son of the suta.' He advanced on the fearsome-looking chariot, best of warriors, to a duel of two chariots with the son of the suta once more, O lord of peoples. He hurled again, enraged, at the son of the suta, the rakshasa, an eight-wheeled, most terrible thunderbolt, wrought by Rudra. Leaping down, Karna caught it, laying his bow down on the chariot.

Ghatotkacha hurls a thunderbolt wrought by Rudra — but Karna, leaping down, catches it with his hands: audacity bordering on the miraculous. It is significant with what composure he lays down his bow to catch the divine weapon. The verse teaches that supreme courage is joined with presence of mind: where another would flee from the gods' thunderbolt, a master catches it in flight; and in this calm daring lies the measure of one who fears not even the weapons of heaven itself.
