Yudhamanyu, however, enraged, hastening, loosed thirty iron arrows [into] the chest of your son. Duryodhana, however, O lord of kings, slew the four horses of the Panchalian Uttamaujas and both flank charioteers. Uttamaujas, [with] his horses slain and [his] charioteer slain in the battle, mounted, hastening, the chariot of his brother Yudhamanyu.

The Panchalian brothers fight as one: having lost his chariot, Uttamaujas mounts his brother's. It is telling that the bond of brotherhood strengthens them in battle. The verse teaches that kinship devoted to a righteous cause is strength: where brothers stand shoulder to shoulder, the loss of one is made good by the support of the other, and the unity of kin serving dharma overcomes misfortune.
