Then, laughing, the son of Adhiratha took up another bow, foe-destroying, enraged in battle, with a firm bowstring, ever more swift. He, Bhimasena, enraged, strong, of true valor, soared into the sky, troubling Karna's mind. Having seen that deed of his, Radheya, seeking victory in the battle, seizing the [right] moment, eluded Bhimasena. Not seeing him, hidden in the body of the chariot, concealed, with senses in turmoil, [Karna], having reached his banner, stood on the ground.

Bhima soars into the sky, troubling the mind of his foe — the resourcefulness of one who has renounced [all] knows no earthly bounds. It is telling that Karna too answers with a ruse, seizing the moment: a duel of masters is a contest not of strength alone but of cunning. The verse teaches that valor is not reducible to a direct blow; resourcefulness in a hopeless position is itself a manifestation of an unconquerable spirit, and one stripped of everything turns even the sky itself into a weapon.
