The chapter closes with the flight of the guilty: "duḥśāsanaḥ trastaḥ… droṇaṃ trātāram ākāṅkṣan," terrified, he seeks in Drona a protector. The one who went forth "devouring the earth" now flees to a wall made of his teacher. It is telling that the accomplice in Abhimanyu's death is the first to seek shelter — conscience and fear drive him. The verse teaches that wrongdoing gives no strength to stand firm: the one who boasted turns to flight, seeking refuge behind another's strength; and he who has done evil is, in the hour of reckoning, the first of all to flee for protection — yet a human wall cannot shield anyone from the retribution that is overtaking him.
