Translation

All the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, along with their allied kings, and Bhīṣma, Droṇa, Karṇa – and our chief soldiers also – are rushing into Your fearful mouths. And some I see trapped with heads smashed between Your teeth.

Kõik Dhṛtarāṣṭra pojad koos neid toetavate kuningatega, ning Bhīṣma, Droṇa, Karṇa, samuti nagu meie väejuhid, tormavad Sinu kohutavatesse suudesse ning mõningaid neist näen ma peadpidi Sinu hammaste vahele kinni jäänutena ning puruks muljututena.

Purport

In a previous verse the Lord promised to show Arjuna things he would be very interested in seeing. Now Arjuna sees that the leaders of the opposite party (Bhīṣma, Droṇa, Karṇa and all the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra) and their soldiers and Arjuna’s own soldiers are all being annihilated. This is an indication that after the death of nearly all the persons assembled at Kurukṣetra, Arjuna will emerge victorious. It is also mentioned here that Bhīṣma, who is supposed to be unconquerable, will also be smashed. So also Karṇa. Not only will the great warriors of the other party like Bhīṣma be smashed, but some of the great warriors of Arjuna’s side also.

Ühes eelnenud värsis lubas Jumal näidata Arjunale seda, mille nägemisest viimane huvitatud võiks olla. Nüüd näeb Arjuna, et vastasleeri juhid (Bhīṣma, Droṇa, Karṇa ning kõik Dhṛtarāṣṭra pojad) ning sõdalased, nagu ka Arjuna enda sõdalased, hävivad kõik. See osutab sellele, et pärast peaaegu kõikide Kurukṣetra lahinguväljale kogunenute surma jääb võitjaks Arjuna. Käesolevas värsis öeldakse, et hukkub ka Bhīṣma, keda peeti võitmatuks. Samuti hukkub Karṇa. Hukka ei saa mitte üksnes Arjuna vastasleeri võimsad sõdalased nagu Bhīṣma, vaid ka mitmed Arjuna poolel võitlevad tugevad sõdurid.
