With his bow cut by Bhima, struck by Dhananjaya's arrows, Karna retreated from Bhima swiftly on his great chariot. Bhima, that bull among men, mounted Satyaki's carriage and followed his brother, the Pandava Savyasachin [Arjuna], into the fray. Then, taking aim at Karna, Dhananjaya, hastening, his eyes red with anger, loosed a naracha, as Antaka looses death. Swiftly sent by the Gandiva, that naracha flew at Karna, like Garutman in the sky seeking out the best of serpents.

Karna, so fearsome against a helpless man, retreats before Arjuna with his weapon intact: boldness toward the weak and caution before the strong often dwell in the same heart. It is telling that the brothers reunite — Bhima mounts Satyaki's carriage and follows Arjuna: love closes their ranks. The verse teaches that one who humiliated the defenseless flees from an equal; and the unity of loving kin, hastening to each other's aid, is more formidable than any solitary boasting.
