THE MAHABHARATA
 
Know the calamity that is imminent to
your evil sons, the handiwork of this
evil-minded son of a driver.

'विराटनगरे सर्वानभियातो धनञ्जयः ।
प्रमथ्य चाच्छिनद्वासः किमयं प्रोषितस्तदा ॥
 
Arjuna attacked (us) all in the city
of Virata and routing ( us ) , snatched the
clothes ; was this Karna away elsewhere
at that time?

'गन्धर्वैर्घोषयात्रायां हियते यत्सुतस्तव ।
 
क्घ तदा सूतपुत्रोऽभूद् य इदानीं वृषायते ।
ननु तत्रापि पार्थेन गन्धर्वास्ते पराजिताः ॥'
"When your son was being carried
away by the Gandharvas during his visit
to the cattle-farms, where was this son of
the driver who now bellows like a bull?
Oh! there again, the Gandharvas were
vanquished by Arjuna!"
