"There we beheld a wonder — the valor of Bhimasena: that, restraining the son of Adhiratha with arrows, he yet slew your sons. He, held in check by Bhima's sharp arrows from every side, the son of the suta, O great king, gazed at Bhimasena. And at him Bhimasena, in fury, his eyes crimson with wrath, drawing his mighty bow, gazed again and again at Karna."

The wonder of Bhima is to hold Karna in check and strike down the brothers at once — a strength that masters two tasks in a single moment. It is telling that the chapter closes not with a blow but with a gaze — the two lock eyes, and the clash pauses on the edge of a new eruption. The verse teaches that in battle it is not raw force alone that decides, but wholeness of spirit holding many things at once; and a gaze that meets a gaze can be more fearsome than a raised weapon.
