Shamelessness reaches its limit: the mocker dances over the grieving one, driving him on like cattle with a shout. But the very words 'his path bound by dharma' expose everything: he is bound not by fear but by duty, and so it is the strongest one in the assembly who endures the abuse. The gloating dance over one bound by dharma is a spectacle of disgrace — but the disgrace of the dancer, not of the bound. The verse teaches that one who has cast off shame mocks all the more brazenly the more defenseless the victim; that the greatest humiliation is often borne by the strongest, who restrains himself for duty's sake; and that mockery of one bound by dharma does not degrade him but only more fully exposes the beastliness of the mocker, for whom this very dance will in its time be remembered.
