They, having encircled him with a line of chariots, O worthy one, unleashed webs of arrows of every kind, all at once. Those arrows your grandson sliced apart in the air with his own sharp shafts, and struck the attackers back with the very same — it appeared as a marvel.

The boy, enclosed within a ring of chariots, cuts through the webs of arrows hurled at him in mid-air and answers each attacker — a mastery bordering on the miraculous. The very impossibility of overcoming a cloud of arrows flying from every side makes his feat a "marvel" in the eyes of the enemy. It is telling that the tradition calls it a "marvel" through the very mouths of the watching Kauravas — the boy's excellence astonishes even his foes. The verse teaches that skill brought to perfection accomplishes what seems impossible — to parry a cloud of arrows and answer it in kind; that one man, surrounded on every side, can turn a siege into a display of his own mastery; and that true valor delights even enemies, who, unable to overcome it, marvel at it — an involuntary tribute that injustice pays to the greatness of the one it destroys.
