पितामहस्तिष्ठतु ते समीपे द्रोणश्च सर्वे च नरेन्द्रमुख्याः । यथाप्रधानेन बलेन यात्वा पार्थान्हनिष्यामि ममैष भारः॥५-६१-६॥
Let the Pitāmaha remain near you, and Droṇa and all the foremost kings as well. I shall go forth with the principal force and defeat the Pārthas—this burden is mine.
english translation
एवं ब्रुवाणं तमुवाच भीष्मः किं कत्थसे कालपरीतबुद्धे । न कर्ण जानासि यथा प्रधाने हते हताः स्युर्धृतराष्ट्रपुत्राः॥५-६१-७॥
As he spoke thus, Bhīṣma said to him: “Why do you boast, O one whose judgment is overtaken by Time? Do you not know, Karṇa, that if the principal protector is brought down, Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s sons would be brought down as well?”
english translation
यत्खाण्डवं दाहयता कृतं हि कृष्णद्वितीयेन धनंजयेन । श्रुत्वैव तत्कर्म नियन्तुमात्मा शक्यस्त्वया वै सह बान्धवेन॥५-६१-८॥
Having only heard of what Dhanaṃjaya—accompanied by Kṛṣṇa—accomplished when he burned the Khāṇḍava forest, you should have restrained yourself, together with your kinsmen.
english translation
यां चापि शक्तिं त्रिदशाधिपस्ते ददौ महात्मा भगवान्महेन्द्रः । भस्मीकृतां तां पतितां विशीर्णां चक्राहतां द्रक्ष्यसि केशवेन॥५-६१-९॥
And the Śakti weapon that the great-souled lord Mahendra, ruler of the gods, gave you—you will see it ruined, fallen and shattered, struck down by Keśava’s discus.
english translation
यस्ते शरः सर्पमुखो विभाति सदाग्र्यमाल्यैर्महितः प्रयत्नात् । स पाण्डुपुत्राभिहतः शरौघैः सह त्वया यास्यति कर्ण नाशम्॥५-६१-१०॥
That arrow of yours, serpent-headed and resplendent—honored with the finest garlands through your effort—will be struck down by volleys of arrows from the sons of Pāṇḍu; and together with you, Karṇa, it will meet destruction.
