While the armies were being slaughtered by the arrows of Drona and Parshata, the soldiers fought, giving up their lives, with all their strength. Among those fighting, yours and the enemy's, O bull of the Bharatas, there was none, O great king, who abandoned the battle out of fear.

The narrator honors both sides equally: "na asit kash cit… yah atyakshit samyugam bhayat" — none abandoned the fight from fear. Courage here is a common possession, not the privilege of the righteous. It is telling how impartial this is: bravery is acknowledged everywhere. The verse teaches that valor belongs to human beings regardless of the rightness of their cause: even those who stand for wrong can be fearless; and the tragedy is that so much courage, worthy of a better fate, is squandered in fratricide — bravery given no chance to serve the world.
