The slayer of foes rushed swiftly to where Bhima stood, slaying your warriors like Antaka with gaping jaws. With the mighty roar of his chariot making the surface of the earth resound, he made the ten directions resound, like a cloud at the close of the hot season. As Bhima slew his enemies, the Pandava [Yudhishthira] guarded his rear; while Drona dispersed the Pandavas and Panchalas at the approach of night.

The chapter closes with an image of the brothers' unity: Yudhishthira, turned away from Drona, hastens to guard Bhima's rear -- each takes his place in the common line. It is significant that the king whose strength is truth becomes support to the brother whose strength is might: different gifts weave into one. The verse teaches that an army holds not by the feats of lone fighters but by mutual protection: where one strikes, another watches his back, and in this trust lies the strength of the bond.
