पाण्डवास् तु जयं लब्ध्वा सैन्धवं विनिहत्य च ॥
अयोधयंस् ततो द्रोणं जयोन्मत्तास् ततस् ततः ॥

The Pandavas, having won the victory and slain Saindhava, then fought with Drona, intoxicated with triumph on every side. And Arjuna, in that battle, having slain the Sindhu king, engaged your warriors, the finest of charioteers, O great king. He, the Diademed One, scattered them on every side as the king of the gods scatters the foes of the gods, as the risen destroyer of darkness scatters the gloom — the hero, his former vow now fulfilled.

The chapter closes with the image of the rising sun dispelling darkness: a fulfilled vow is like dawn after night. It is telling that Arjuna is likened both to the king of the gods and to the sun — truth, having triumphed, shines like heaven's order over chaos. The verse teaches that faithfulness to one's word, carried through to the end against all odds, scatters the darkness of doubt and wrong; and one who has kept his vow rises over the field like the sun over the world, giving it back its light.
