Drona again overcomes Dhrishtadyumna, and now Bhima steps in — not with a weapon but with a word spoken "as though softly." It is telling that in the thick of slaughter it is not a blow but speech that becomes decisive: where force cannot break the teacher, a word aimed at his conscience strikes him. The verse teaches that a word aimed truly at the heart wounds deeper than an arrow; and the preparation for a great turn is made quietly, before the thunder.
