THE MAHABHARATA
 
भीष्मः-

'अनुजानामि कर्ण त्वां युध्यस्व स्वर्गकाम्यया ।

प्रशमे हि कृतो यत्नस्सुमहान्सुचिरं मया ।

न चैव शक्तिः कर्तुतुं, यतो धर्मस्ततो जयः ॥'
 

Bhishma

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
 
S
so,
 
Karna bowed to
 

him, took leave of him and mounting his

chariot, went towards Duryodhana.
 

 
॥ इति भीष्मपर्व समाप्तम् ॥
 

THUS ENDS THE BHISHMA PARVA.
