Closing ranks around Jayadratha, the nine strike first of all at Vasudeva -- seventy-three arrows into the charioteer. It is telling that here too the enemy aims at Krishna, sensing that in Him lies the support of the righteous chariot. The verse teaches that enmity first tries to strike down the support on which the cause of truth rests; but He at whom the arrows fly remains unshaken, and a ring of many around one only hastens their own end.
