‘पूछो मेरी जाति , शक्ति हो तो, मेरे भुजबल से’रवि-समान दीपित ललाट से और कवच-कुण्डल से,पढ़ो उसे जो झलक रहा है मुझमें तेज-प्रकाश,मेरे रोम-रोम में अंकित है मेरा इतिहास।
Karna says that anyone who wants to know his caste should judge him by his physical strength, radiant forehead, armor, earrings, and the heroic history written through his whole being.
