THE MAHABHARATA
 
भीष्मः-
'अनुजानामि कर्ण त्वां युध्यस्व स्वर्गकाम्यया ।
प्रशमे हि कृतो यत्नस्सुमहान्सुचिरं मया ।
न चैव शक्तिः कर्तु, यतो धर्मस्ततो जयः ॥'
 
-
 
Bhishma-
" I permit you, Karna; fight with the
desire for heaven. Very great effort was
made by me and for long to secure
complete peace; it could not be secured.
Where there is Dharma, there victory
shall be."
 
इत्युक्तवति गाङ्गेये अभिवाद्योपमन्त्र्य च ।
राधेयो रथमारुह्य प्रायात्तव सुतं प्रति ॥
 
When Bhishma said
 
So,
 
Karna bowed to
 
him, took leave of him and mounting his
chariot, went towards Duryodhana.
 
॥ इति भीष्मपर्व समाप्तम् ॥
 
THUS ENDS THE BHISHMA PARVA.
