Bhima, having slain his horses and struck down his charioteer, burst into loud laughter: "requital for the deed, once again." The bull among men then cut his bow with arrows too; it fell, o great king, golden-backed and loudly resounding. Karna, the great warrior, then descended from that chariot, and, taking up a mace in battle, hurled it at Bhimasena.

Bhima laughs "requital for the deed, once again" -- Karna's mockery is returned to him a hundredfold: as he measured, so it is measured back to him. It is telling that the disarmed Karna reaches for a mace: stripped of chariot and bow, he does not think of retreat. The verse teaches that scorn returns upon the one who scorns, and that obstinacy without measure only prolongs a hopeless struggle; whoever does not know when to withdraw merely exchanges one weapon for another until the very end.
