Jayadratha himself pronounces what will become his sentence: "pratijñāṃ savyasācinaḥ" — Arjuna's vow cannot be revoked even by the gods. It is significant that the guilty one grasps the power of the impending punishment more clearly than anyone: guilt sharpens fear into insight. "Putrahantā", "the killer of the son" — he does not dispute the charge, he only dreads the consequence. The verse teaches that a wrongdoer sees the inevitability of retribution for his deed more clearly than the righteous: a conscience unable to repent is nonetheless unable to deceive itself about the reckoning to come.
