अगस्त्यशास्तां च दिशं प्रयाताः स्म जनार्दन । अचिरेणैव कालेन प्राप्स्यामो यमसादनम्॥५-१४१-४१॥

O Janārdana, we proceeded toward the quarter presided over by Agastya; and in a short time we shall reach the abode of Yama, the Lord of Death.

english translation

अहं चान्ये च राजानो यच्च तत्क्षत्रमण्डलम् । गाण्डीवाग्निं प्रवेक्ष्याम इति मे नास्ति संशयः॥५-१४१-४२॥

I, and the other kings as well—indeed that entire circle of kṣatriyas—shall enter the “fire of Gāṇḍīva,” Arjuna’s martial might; of this I have no doubt.

english translation

कृष्ण उवाच । उपस्थितविनाशेयं नूनमद्य वसुंधरा । तथा हि मे वचः कर्ण नोपैति हृदयं तव॥५-१४१-४३॥

Kṛṣṇa said: Surely this earth today stands on the brink of destruction; for, Karṇa, my words do not enter your heart.

english translation

सर्वेषां तात भूतानां विनाशे समुपस्थिते । अनयो नयसंकाशो हृदयान्नापसर्पति॥५-१४१-४४॥

Dear one, when the destruction of all beings draws near, a course that resembles wise policy yet is in truth misguidance does not withdraw from the heart.

english translation

कर्ण उवाच । अपि त्वा कृष्ण पश्याम जीवन्तोऽस्मान्महारणात् । समुत्तीर्णा महाबाहो वीरक्षयविनाशनात्॥५-१४१-४५॥

Karṇa said: O Kṛṣṇa, may we perhaps see you again—if we survive this great war—having crossed beyond the ruin that comes with the wasting away of heroes, O mighty-armed one.
