Fiery

The son of Indra then sped at Karna a fiery weapon capable of slaying all foes. Covering the earth and
the welkin and the ten points of the compass and the very course of the sun with its effulgence, it caused
his own body also to blaze up with light. The robes of all the warriors took fire, at which they fled away.
Loud sounds also arose there, like what is heard when a forest of bamboos in a wilderness is on fire.
Beholding that fiery weapon acting on all sides, the suta’s son Karna of great valour shot in that
encounter the varunastra for quenching it. That conflagration then, in consequence of Karna’s weapon,
became quenched.
