He, Arjuna, surpassed and passed by those best warriors, O king, as if bewildering them with narachas, desiring to kill Jayadratha. Hurling arrows in every direction, he whose charioteer is dark [Krishna], raced swiftly through the battle, Dhananjaya worthy of the gaze. The streams of arrows of the great-souled hero, as if whirling, were seen hanging suspended in the sky, by hundreds and thousands.

Arjuna does not linger over those he meets, but passes them by, bewildering them with narachas: one set upon a goal is not distracted by what is secondary. It is telling that his charioteer is "dark" — Krishna, Himself holding the reins: the Supreme guides the one who is set upon his purpose. The verse teaches that a clearly chosen goal commands one to bypass the secondary; and one guided by the Lord passes through obstacles without spending himself on every foe who stands in the way.
