Sañjaya said: Having heard Karṇa’s words, Keśava—slayer of opposing champions—then spoke these remarks, lightly laughing, with a smile preceding them.

अपि त्वां न तपेत्कर्ण राज्यलाभोपपादना । मया दत्तां हि पृथिवीं न प्रशासितुमिच्छसि॥५-१४०-२॥
“Karṇa, does the prospect of attaining sovereignty not trouble you—that you do not wish to govern the earth I offered you?”

ध्रुवो जयः पाण्डवानामितीदं न संशयः कश्चन विद्यतेऽत्र । जयध्वजो दृश्यते पाण्डवस्य समुच्छ्रितो वानरराज उग्रः॥५-१४०-३॥
“The victory of the Pāṇḍavas is certain—of this there is no doubt here. The Pāṇḍava’s banner of triumph is seen raised aloft, bearing the formidable lord of monkeys.”

“A divine manifestation, arranged by Bhauvana, stands elevated, radiant like Indra’s banner. Here, too, divine beings are seen—fear-inspiring—appearing in formidable and dreadful forms.”

न सज्जते शैलवनस्पतिभ्य ऊर्ध्वं तिर्यग्योजनमात्ररूपः । श्रीमान्ध्वजः कर्ण धनंजयस्य समुच्छ्रितः पावकतुल्यरूपः॥५-१४०-५॥
It does not snag upon mountains or forest trees; it stretches upward and across to the measure of a yojana. O Karṇa, Dhanañjaya’s splendid standard is raised aloft, its form like fire.
