"Before the eyes of all the armies, of Keshava and of me, you were made chariotless by Bhimasena many times in battle. But since Vrikodara heard much harshness from you, and since, behind his back, the son of Subhadra [Abhimanyu], my [son], was slain by you all — therefore taste at once the fruit of this [your] arrogance. His [Bhima's] bow was cut by you — to your own ruin, ill-minded one. Therefore you, fool, shall be slain by me, with retinue, army, and mounts; perform all your [final] duties — great danger has overtaken you."

Arjuna tallies the account: harsh words to Bhima and the killing of Abhimanyu behind his back — for this Karna's arrogance will bear a bitter fruit. It is telling that "behind his back" (parokṣam) — Abhimanyu was struck down by stealth, by many at once: this is the very root of the charge. The verse teaches that wrongs done to the defenseless, and arrogance over the fallen, accumulate as debt; and he who has multiplied them will in his hour hear: "perform your final duties" — for what was sown has ripened.
