"Thus were these boons obtained of old, know, by Shauri [Krishna]; this very god moves by maya, deluding [bewildering] the world. And the one born of that same austerity, named Nara, the great sage, equal to this god [Narayana] — know him always [as] Arjuna. These two are, among the ancient gods, the highest, sages grown to greatness; for the ordering of the world's course they are born from age to age. Likewise, from the whole of great action and from austerity, [as] the fiery wrath [of Rudra], O knowing one, you were born — raudra, [sprung] from Rudra, O wise one."

Vyasa reveals to Ashvatthaman his own origin: he is born of Rudra's fiery wrath, just as Nara-Narayana are born of austerity. It is notable that both the enemy and those he pursues trace back to a single Source: all threads converge on the Highest. The verse teaches that the Lord descends "from age to age for the world's course," and the fates of beings are but threads of a single design; and one who has grasped his own divine origin looks differently upon the conflict in which he takes part — as the working of a will greater than himself.
