Then in all the armies the [musical] instruments struck up joyfully, when your son had barred the way of Dhananjaya. And there were lion-roars mingled with conches and kettledrums, when Duryodhana was seen there standing before the two Krishnas. And those who were the protectors of the king of Sindhu, fire-like, rejoiced in the battle at the sight of your son, O lord. Having seen Duryodhana gone ahead with his retinue, Krishna then spoke to Arjuna, O king, this timely word.

The chapter closes with the seeming triumph of the Kauravas: joy, roars, conches — for Duryodhana has barred the way. But this rejoicing stands on the threshold of the outcome. And Krishna addresses Arjuna with "prāptakālam… vacaḥ", a timely word — the instruction to follow in the next chapter. It is significant that the jubilation of the unrighteous is cut short by the voice of the Lord. The verse teaches that joy resting on an illusory barrier is premature: the Kauravas exult, but the word of the Lord is already preparing the outcome; and where the voice of God sounds, the turning point is near — for behind the outward barrier stands a will that cannot be stopped.
