Having slain him in battle, Brihatkshatra, the great warrior, delighted, suddenly fell upon your army for the sake of the Parthas' cause. Then the valiant Viradhanvan, the great archer, checked Dhrishtaketu, O Bharata, as he advanced for Drona's sake. The two, meeting each other, swift, with arrow-fangs, struck one another with many thousands of arrows.

"Śaradaṃṣṭrau" -- with arrows for fangs: the warriors are likened to beasts of prey, for war turns men into the semblance of animals whose fangs are arrows. It is telling that no sooner does one foe fall than another rises -- the tide of enmity does not ebb. The verse teaches that war is a self-renewing circle: in place of the fallen a new one stands, and the beastly fury awakened in man does not quiet of itself but demands ever fresh victims.
