Traducción

"At whose birth Drona gave a thousand cows as a gift to most honorable brahmins — that is Ashvatthaman roaring now. When that hero was but newly born, his neighing, like that of Uchchaihshravas [Indra's horse], shook the earth and all three worlds. Hearing this, an unseen being gave him his name then — 'Ashvatthaman'; that same hero now roars, O Pandava."

Comentario

Arjuna weaves into the fearsome name the tale of its bearer's birth: the newborn neighed like a heavenly horse, and an unseen voice named him Ashvatthaman. It is significant that Drona, in his joy, gave a thousand cows to brahmins — the son's birth was consecrated by giving. The verse teaches that a name carries a destiny within it: he whose first cry shook three worlds now shakes armies; and a person often fulfills what was laid down at the very start of his path.
