Then, O king, Duryodhana pierced both Krishnas in battle with nine smooth-jointed arrows resembling vipers. At this great rain of arrows your men rejoiced, raising the din of instruments and lion-roars. Then Partha, enraged in battle, licking the corners of his mouth, found not a single limb of his that was not shielded by armor.

"Sṛkkaṇī parisaṃlihan" — Arjuna licks the corners of his lips like a lion before the leap: the wrath in him is not blind fury but gathered strength. The premature rejoicing of the Kauravas ("ahṛṣyanta") sets in relief the futility of joy grounded on visible protection alone. It is significant that invulnerability of armor only kindles cold resolve in the righteous. The verse teaches that the enemy's false sense of safety breeds false triumph, while true valor, even in wrath, remains clear-sighted and seeks the right way forward.
