ततो भीमो महाराज नवभिर् नतपर्वणाम् ॥
रणे ऽप्रेषयत क्रुद्धः सूतपुत्रस्य मारिष ॥
ते तस्य कवचं भित्त्वा तथा बाहुं च दक्षिणम् ॥
अभ्यगुर् धरणीं तीक्ष्णा वल्मीकम् इव पन्नगाः ॥
राधेयं तु रणे दृष्ट्वा पदातिनम् अवस्थितम् ॥
भीमसेनेन संरब्धं राजा दुर्योधनो ऽब्रवीत् ॥
त्वरध्वं सर्वतो यत्ता राधेयस्य रथं प्रति ॥
ततस् तव सुता राजञ् श्रुत्वा भ्रातुर् वचो द्रुतम् ॥
अभ्ययुः पाण्डवं युद्धे विसृजन्तः शिताञ् शरान् ॥

Then Bhima, o great king, enraged, sent nine smooth-jointed arrows in battle at the charioteer's son, o venerable one. They, piercing his armor and his right arm, sharp as they were, entered the earth, like snakes into an anthill. But seeing Radheya standing on foot in battle, enraged because of Bhimasena, king Duryodhana spoke. Then your sons, o king, having quickly heard their brother's word, advanced upon the Pandava in battle, loosing sharp arrows.

Arrows, having pierced armor and arm, sink into the earth like snakes into an anthill -- an image of an inescapable death seeking its hiding place. It is telling that Duryodhana, seeing Karna afoot, again sends his brothers into battle: the saving of one prop is again paid for with fresh lives. The verse teaches that persistence in an unjust cause never has its fill of victims; no sooner does one shield fall than another is driven into its place, and so the whole line is worn away.
