The death of the brothers brings tears to some and, in another, a turn to sorcery: your sons weep for their uncles, while Shakuni, unable to prevail in honest battle, resorts to illusion. Here the difference of natures before loss shows itself: some grieve openly, another seeks deception. It is telling that Shakuni, the chief weaver of intrigue in this whole war, remains true to himself here as well -- where valor does not avail, cunning is set to work. The verse teaches that grief lays bare a person's nature: the noble mourns the fallen, the crafty turns loss into an occasion for fresh deceit; that one unable to prevail honestly resorts to charms and tricks; and that Shakuni, father of the whole strife through dishonest play, remains on the battlefield too what he always was -- a master of illusion, a stranger to open combat.
