(Verse 1)
Krishna chuckles softly, a knowing sound in the air,
“So Karna, my friend, you don’t wish to take care
Of the earth as it should be, with righteousness bright?
The Pandavas’ victory will soon take its flight.
Mark my words closely, when battle’s harsh call,
Brings five mighty brothers to stand strong and tall.
Know this without doubt, as sure as the sun,
Duryodhana and his forces, their time will be done.
And you, bound to his darkness, will fall in the fray,
A tragic conclusion to this fateful day.”
