Discuss the imagery of Karna's Slain Body.

When Karna is killed, his body is discussed in the language of awe-inspiring phenomena one might find in nature. His body is described as looking like a thunderstruck mountain, and his blood is described as flowing with mineral ore. He can be seen blazing with a fiery energy that shoots up into the sky. The image of Karna, in death, imposing his surroundings like a mountain and flowing into the sky is yet another conflation of the human with the godly, and a reminder of the blessed stock that Karna descends from.
