The image "kālena paripakvānāṃ tālānāṃ patatām iva", "like ripe palm fruits falling", is profound: the heads of the slain fall like fruit that has ripened by time. Kāla, Time, is both the season of ripening and the season of death. It is telling that death here is shown not merely as violence but as a harvest that Time has brought to fullness. The verse teaches us to see in death the working of Time-Kāla: the fallen are like fruits ripened by time; and behind the warrior's hand acts Time itself, gathering its harvest -- which reconciles the horror with the law of the universe.
