Hemmed in by a line of chariots of those enemies, the son of Arjuna, having struck down Vrishasena's charioteer, shattered his bow as well. Mighty, he wounded Vrishasena's horses with straight-flying arrows; and, bolting, those horses carried him off the field of battle. Through that gap, Abhimanyu's charioteer drove the chariot forward; and the chariot-warriors, rejoicing, cried out: "Splendid, splendid!"

Surrounded, the boy finds a way out: by depriving Vrishasena of his horses, he creates a "gap" through which his charioteer drives his chariot forward. Thus, in a hopeless ring, valor and quick wit find a breach. It is significant that even his own men [the Pandava chariot-warriors at a distance] cheer "splendid!" — the boy's feat is seen by all. The verse teaches that even in a tight ring of siege there is a loophole for one who acts with wit, turning the defeat of one enemy into his own passage; that a warrior's resourcefulness does not surrender before encirclement, but seeks and creates a way out; and that valor breaking even out of a trap calls forth an admiring "splendid!" — for there is no sight more gladdening than a spirit that will not submit to hopelessness.
