[Dhritarashtra:] "With that Bhurishravas, the Kaurava, slain, in such a state as it was — how did the battle flare up again? Tell me of that, Sanjaya." [Sanjaya:] When Bhurishravas had departed to the other world, O Bharata, the mighty-armed Arjuna began to urge Vasudeva on: "Drive the horses harder, Krishna, toward where king Jayadratha is; the hastening lord of day sinks toward its setting, O mighty-armed one."

Arjuna presses Krishna: the sun hastens toward its setting, and the vow must be fulfilled before it falls. It is telling that the whole assault is now measured not by enemies but by the departing light of day — time itself has become the chief adversary. The verse teaches that a given word imposes a deadline, and a mature man weighs the task not by its ease but by that deadline; one who has bound himself by a vow presses forward until the appointed hour has run out.
