"Having spoken thus, the king, the Pandava, then charged with his whole army into battle against Drona for Yuyudhana's sake. There arose a great cry among those eager to fight Drona alone -- among the Pandavas, blessings upon you, and the Srinjayas altogether. They, tigers among men, coming together, rained sharp arrows fletched with heron and peacock feathers upon Bharadvaja's son, the great warrior."

A whole army rises 'yuyudhānasya kāraṇāt', for the sake of Yuyudhana alone: the rescue of a friend becomes the common cause of the entire host. It is telling that the fate of a devoted one draws in the whole righteous assembly. The verse teaches that in a good fellowship the trouble of one is the concern of all; where brotherhood is true, no one is abandoned to danger, and all rise for each as for themselves, for the bonds of friendship bind an army more firmly than its ranks.
