The mighty Sahadeva, with a broad-headed arrow, cut Durmukha's banner and slew his four horses with four sharp arrows; then with another yellow, sharpened, broad-headed arrow he swept from the charioteer's body the head with its blazing earrings; and having cut, in battle, the great bow of the Kauravya with a sharp razor-headed arrow, he pierced him with five more.

Sahadeva, the gentlest of the brothers, is terrible in battle: one after another he strips Durmukha of banner, horses, charioteer, bow. It is telling that gentleness of heart in peaceful life does not contradict firm valor in the discharge of duty. The verse teaches that meekness and strength are not at odds in a noble man: one mild of temper can be unbending in war when duty places him on the field, for true valor lies not in ferocity of heart but in fidelity to one's calling.
