"Guarded by Drona, Karna, Kripa, by great striking archers — who then, O Partha, could overwhelm that army even in thought, except the gods, [and] the great archer of many forms, Maheshvara? No one dares to stand when he stands before them; for there is no being equal to him in the three worlds. Even from the mere scent, in battle, of him enraged, the enemies, losing their senses, mostly slain, tremble and fall."

Vyasa affirms Mahadeva's incomparability: an army guarded by Drona and Karna cannot be overcome even in thought without him. It is telling that his very presence in wrath strikes down enemies — a might with no equal in the three worlds. The verse teaches that there is a Power before which even the greatest heroes are powerless; the victory a hero wins is, at its root, a gift of that Power going before him unseen.
