With his body wounded by arrows, wise Abhimanyu, smiling, spoke to Duhshasana, who stood confronting him as an enemy: "By good fortune I see in battle the arrogant foe come before me — cruel, having abandoned dharma, devoted to abuse — you, who in the assembly, while king Dhritarashtra listened, drove the King of dharma Yudhishthira to wrath with harsh words."

The boy, himself bleeding, meets his offender not with hatred but with a smile — "by good fortune I see the enemy": for him the meeting with the author of his family's dishonor is not fear but the long-awaited hour of truth. Here righteous anger shows itself without losing its clarity: Abhimanyu remembers not a personal grievance but the dharma trampled in the assembly. It is telling that he names Duhshasana's guilt precisely — the insult of the King of dharma while the elders kept silent. The verse teaches that there is a bright anger, born not of malice but of zeal for truth; that the offender, unpunished until now, sooner or later meets his hour of reckoning; and that the boy's smile before the guilty one is not the smile of vengeful joy, but the awareness that trampled justice will finally claim its due, and that he, a child, is called to be its instrument.
