Having crossed Śveta-parvata, o Bharata, the best of the Pandavas conquered, by a great battle destroying the kshatriyas, the land of the Kimpurushas guarded by Drumaputra, and imposed tribute upon it. Having conquered it, the undisturbed son of Pakashasana reached with his army the land named Hataka, guarded by the Guhyakas.

Beyond the White Mountain begin lands inhabited by beings who are no longer quite human — Kimpurushas, Guhyakas, spirits of the mountains. The word "undisturbed" (avyagra) is significant: entering superhuman regions, Arjuna does not lose his equanimity. One established in dharma is troubled neither by the strange nor by the fearsome. The verse teaches that true courage lies not in reckless fury but in calm amid the unknown; and whoever carries order within himself preserves it even where the earthly borders on the other.
