"Strewn with stone-dust, both men and birds could not stand firm, as if stung by bees. Those left alive [after the slaughter], bloodied, [with] shattered temple-bosses, the elephants turned back [away] from Yuyudhana's chariot. Then a din arose from your army, O venerable one, harassed by the Madhava, terrible as [that] of the ocean."

The stone-dust, flung into the air, stings the very ones who hurled it, "bhramarair iva", like bees: evil scattered by steadfastness turns back upon its own. It is telling that the weapon of guile destroys the one who wielded it. The verse teaches that treachery turned against the righteous rebounds upon its instigator: the rain of stones, shattered to dust, showers down upon the mountain-folk themselves, and wrongdoing reaps what it has sown -- for a blow aimed at righteousness recoils upon the wrongdoer.
