Each of the brothers strips the enemy of one of his supports—bow, banner, charioteer: concerted action dismantles the foe's strength piece by piece. It is telling that the young sons reproduce the valor of their fathers, as though the lineage lived on in them. The verse teaches that the heritage of fathers comes alive in sons: what made the parents renowned appears again in the children, and each generation of the righteous once more displays on the field the same valor as their forebears—the line does not break in its virtues.
