'He on whose strength, relying, in battle the sword was raised [and war was decided] — that Karna is defeated in the clash, and Jayadratha is slain. He who spoke harsh words to the Pandavas amid the assembly — that Karna is defeated in the clash, and Saindhava is felled. He on whose valor, relying, I deemed Achyuta, who asked for peace, worthless as grass — that Karna is defeated in battle.' Thus, with downcast spirit, O king, your son, guilty before the whole world, approached to see Drona, O bull among the Bharatas. Then he told him all of it — the great slaughter of the Kurus, and of the enemies who had been triumphing, and of the Dhartarashtras who had been sinking.

Duryodhana himself names the root cause: relying on Karna, he rejected the peace offered by Achyuta, scorning Him "like grass." It is telling that "āgaskṛt sarvalokasya" — guilty before the whole world — shows him beginning to recognize his guilt. The verse teaches that rejecting the peace offered by the Lord is the source of all calamity; and one who, out of pride, scorned the extended hand of reconciliation, in his hour mourns the fall of every support he trusted in its place.
