The chapter closes with the flight of the troops at the sight of two fallen men — Shrutayudha and Sudakshina. The death of the valiant breaks the spirit of the rest. It is telling that the very ranks meant to stop Arjuna scatter the moment their leaders fall. The verse teaches that an unrighteous army stands only on a few, and with their fall the whole collapses: where there is no foundation in truth, the spirit of the army depends on its living heroes; and when they fall, nothing remains but flight — for lawlessness gives none of that inner steadiness which sustains the righteous even after their leaders have died.
