There, amid arrows loosed and falling everywhere, a great roar arose, like the roar of fire in a great dry thicket. Seeing there Madhava, the best of warriors, gaining the upper hand, Karna swiftly rushed forward, wishing to shield your son. But mighty Bhimasena would not bear this; he swiftly rushed upon Karna, loosing many arrows. Karna, repelling his sharp arrows as if laughing, cut his bow and arrows, and struck his charioteer with shafts.

The battle branches out: Karna hastens to Duryodhana, Bhima rises against Karna, and every act of rescue breeds a fresh clash. It is telling that Karna repels the blows "as if laughing" -- the calm superiority of a master. The verse teaches that in the general melee, one man's rescue at once draws another's countermove; the battlefield is an endless chain of engagements, where every motion begets a counter-motion, and in it there is neither rest nor end.
