Having heard that word of his, the son of Drona, the great charioteer, bowed to Rudra and highly honored Keshava. With hair standing on end [in joy] and self-possessed, having bowed to the great sage [Vyasa], he turned to the army and arranged its retreat. Then the withdrawal of the Pandavas took place, O lord of the peoples, and of the dejected Kauravas, after Drona had been struck down in battle. Having waged battle for five days, Drona, having slain the army, went to the world of Brahma, O king — a brahmin who had mastered the Vedas.

Having heard Vyasa's revelation, Ashvatthaman bows before Rudra and honors Keshava: knowledge of the truth calms even his fury. It is notable that the chapter, having begun in the fire of vengeance, closes with a bow and a withdrawal of the troops — wrath yields to reverence. The verse brings the tale of Drona to a close: for five days he led the host, then went to the world of Brahma as a brahmin who had mastered the Vedas; and the whole narrative teaches that above the wheel of strife stands a higher will, and the heart that grasps this bows not to vengeance but to worship.
