That [deed] of his all the Kurus and the charanas honored — that from [his] chariot he intended to slay Karna, as Tarkshya [Garuda would slay] a serpent. He, bowless, chariotless, upholding his own dharma, having left his own chariot behind, stood ready for battle. Having repelled that [attack] of his, Radheya then rushed at him, enflamed, at the Pandava in the fray, who had come forth to battle.

The unarmed Bhima 'upholds his own dharma' — he stands ready for battle, giving no thought to flight: a warrior's duty outweighs self-preservation. It is telling that even the Kurus, his enemies, honor his valor: the feat is acknowledged by all. The verse teaches that faithfulness to duty does not depend on the weapon in one's hand; deprived of bow and chariot yet standing face to face with the foe, one displays a purer dharma than the armed warrior, and thereby earns the praise of both armies.
