"When I heard, O suta, that the valiant king of Madra (Shalya), who always vied with Krishna in battle, was slain by the King of Dharma (Yudhishthira) -- then, O Sanjaya, I lost hope of victory."

Shalya, who dared to match himself against Krishna Himself, perishes at the hands of Yudhishthira -- the embodiment of dharma. One who sets himself equal to the Lord and opposes Him dooms himself to fall: none can rival the Supreme. And it is precisely the 'King of Dharma' who strikes him down -- a sign that righteousness resting on the Lord overcomes every pride. Contending with Krishna is the surest path to ruin.
