With an arrow he cut in two the raised sword of the unarmed Alambusa. Then with four sharp arrows, O bull of the Bharatas, Partha struck down the lord of the rakshasas; pierced, he fled in fear. Having conquered him, Arjuna swiftly approached Drona, showering swarms of arrows, O king, upon men, elephants and horses. Slain by the glorious Pandava, O great king, the soldiers fell to the ground like trees felled by the wind. And while they were being destroyed by the great-souled Phalguna, [the whole army of your sons fled].

Alambusa, that terror with the horse-faced demons, flees "in fear" -- a fearsome appearance does not save one from defeat. And now Arjuna mows down warriors, "like the wind fells trees," advancing on Drona. It is telling that the rakshasa who spread terror is himself put to flight. The verse teaches that fear, which evil sows around itself, turns back upon its sower the moment it meets the firm strength of truth; and the one dreadful only in appearance retreats first, for behind the terrifying mask there was no true steadfastness.
