The charioteer hastily bore off from the midst of battle the senseless Duhshasana, tormented by the arrows of Abhimanyu. The Pandavas, the sons of Draupadi and Virata, beholding him, and the Panchalas and Kekayas raised a lion's roar. And all the manifold martial music sounded everywhere in rejoicing there among the warriors of the Pandavas.

The joy of the Pandavas at seeing Duhshasana laid low is not malice but the triumph of truth: he who had humiliated Draupadi and Yudhishthira is now helpless. Here rightful rejoicing at the shaming of the unrighteous shows itself. It is telling that the sons of Draupadi rejoice most of all — for their insulted mother, vengeance has been taken. The verse teaches that there is a joy that is not evil — joy at the triumph of justice, when the offender is put to shame; that the humbling of a proud oppressor rightly gladdens the hearts of the wronged; and that this rejoicing of the army is not a thirst for blood but the relief of those who have long endured injustice and now see at last that evil meets its retribution, and violated honor its vengeance.
