Radheya, hearing the twang of Bhimasena's bowstring and the clap of his palm, could not bear it, like a furious elephant enraged at the roar of a rival elephant. Withdrawing for a moment from the range of Bhima's arrows, and seeing your sons, fallen from their chariots, slain by Bhimasena, the son of Adhiratha grew downcast and sorrowful; sighing long and hot, he advanced once more toward the Pandava.

Karna grieves for the fallen, yet returns to the fight all the same — sorrow does not turn him from the very deed that gave it birth. It is telling that the mere twang of Bhima's bowstring, like the roar of a herd-leader, is more than a rival can bear: pride will not endure a challenge, even when reason counsels retreat. The verse teaches that grief which does not change one's course bears no fruit; one who mourns a death and in the same breath walks toward it only multiplies the very thing he mourns.
