Then those warriors, having learned of that [scheme] to capture Yudhishthira, raised lion-like war cries together with the din of arrows and conches. But all this, as it happened, O Bharata, was at once ascertained by Dharmaraja [Yudhishthira] through loyal [spies] — Drona's intent. Then, having summoned all his brothers and commanders from every side, Dharmaraja [Yudhishthira] spoke this word to Dhananjaya [Arjuna].

The scheme that the Kauravas loudly proclaim through their camps at once becomes known to Yudhishthira: treachery announced aloud ceases to be a secret weapon, and the noisy self-assurance of evil plays into the hands of vigilant truth. It is telling that the righteous man does not neglect intelligence-gathering — wisdom is not opposed to caution: trusting in dharma, Yudhishthira nonetheless learns the enemy's designs. The verse teaches that evil which boastfully proclaims its plans disarms itself; that vigilance and awareness are part of righteous order, not opposed to it; and that truth joined with prudent foresight meets treachery fully armed.
