When his weapons were being destroyed, Drona, filled with wrath and desiring to slay Yudhishthira, raised the weapon of brahma. Then I knew nothing at all, for a terrible darkness covered everything, and the highest terror seized all beings, O lord of the earth. Seeing the brahma-weapon raised, the son of Kunti, Yudhishthira, repelled that weapon with the weapon of brahma itself, O lord of kings.

The brahmastra, the supreme weapon, plunges the world into darkness and terror: its use threatens creation itself. Tellingly, Yudhishthira repels it with its equal, the brahmastra, not allowing destruction to take place. The verse teaches that supreme power demands supreme responsibility; and the meeting of two brahmastras, neutralizing each other, is an image of how the most terrible weapon must not be used but restrained — otherwise it turns against all that exists.
