The spear, thrown at the back of the departing man, is cut to shreds: a treacherous blow does not reach the one under protection. It is notable that Duhshasana aims at the back -- an image of the wicked striking from behind. The verse teaches that a blow struck in malice at the back of one who is leaving is futile before one shielded by truth: the treachery of the unjust shatters, like a spear into a hundred fragments, and never reaches the one whom dharma protects.
