Having routed that army, Dhrishtadyumna, fearsome, shone forth, radiant, like Shakra amid the hosts of gods. Then Dhrishtadyumna and Shikhandin, and the twins, and Yuyudhana, and the Pandava Vrikodara [Bhima], blew their great conches. Having overcome your thousands of chariots, the great warriors, the Pandavas, radiant with victory, raised lion-roars, intoxicated with triumph, before the eyes of your son and Karna, and likewise of valiant Drona and Drauni, O lord of the peoples.

The chapter closes with the triumph of the Pandavas: conches sound, lion-roars ring out "before the eyes of Duryodhana, Karna, Drona, and Drauni" — victory is displayed before the face of the mightiest foes. It is telling that the rejoicing unfolds not in secret but in full view of the defeated. The verse teaches that the outcome of a righteous cause openly shames wrongdoing; and though the war is still far from its end, this night victory of the Panchalas and Pandavas foreshadows the outcome awaiting those who hold to dharma.
