The narrative honestly acknowledges the enemy's deed as 'greatest' and says that 'all beings extolled' it: valor is honored no matter on which side it appears. And yet this praise is bitter — for Jayadratha's glorious feat is that very barrier which dooms the boy. It is telling that the narrative does not withhold recognition from the enemy, even when his deed spells ruin for the righteous. The verse teaches that an honest witness renders valor its due even in an adversary, without diminishing it out of partiality; that one and the same deed can be both greatest in its execution and fateful in its fruits; and that the world honors strength and skill for their own sake — but the one who looks deeper sees, behind the extolled feat, the grief it carries, and does not confuse the brilliance of a deed with the rightness of its aim.
