Karna's brother hastens to rescue him, pressed by the boy — and the Pandavas rejoice, praising Abhimanyu, who has forced Karna himself to give ground. In this joy lies recognition of the unprecedented: a mere child overcomes the foremost of bowmen. It is telling that it is a brother who comes to Karna's aid — even the most formidable need help against the boy. The verse teaches that valor which presses back the greatest of warriors rightly calls forth rejoicing; that even the mightiest sometimes needs rescue when a true hero rises against him; and that the praise the Pandavas raise for the boy stands as the whole army's testimony to a feat without equal — a moment before this zenith of glory is cut short by death.
