He, having again pierced Shakuni with five smooth-jointed arrows, struck Uluka with three -- with three iron arrows. Him, Uluka, having thus pierced, struck Vasudeva and roared a great roar, filling the surface of the earth. And Arjuna, having swiftly advanced, severed the bow of Shakuni and sent his four horses to the abode of Yama. Then, having leapt down from the chariot, Saubala, O bull among the Bharatas, swiftly mounted onto the chariot of Uluka, O lord of peoples.

Father and son -- Shakuni and Uluka -- ride upon a single chariot: even the instigator of the feud is not alone; he has a son fighting beside him. It is significant that even the wicked are surrounded by kinship's love. The verse teaches that the bonds of blood live on even in the unrighteous; the one we judge for treachery is still a father, with a son at his side in battle. War makes no distinction between the righteous and the guilty -- it destroys both alike, together with the bonds that unite them.
