Those fifty arrows, shot by your son, Shaineya, skillful, cut down in battle, O king. Then with another broad-headed arrow, the swift one severed in battle the large bow of your son at the grip, O honored one. Without chariot and without bow, the lord of the whole world, the sovereign [Duryodhana], swiftly mounted the shining chariot of Kritavarman. When Duryodhana withdrew, Shaineya put your army to flight with arrows at midnight, O lord of peoples.

'Lord of the whole world' -- so Duryodhana is called with bitter irony at the very moment he flees, without chariot or bow. This juxtaposition of the lofty title and the wretched state is significant. The verse teaches that earthly titles -- 'lord of the world' -- are empty before the reversals of battle and fate; the one who imagines himself master of the universe becomes in an instant a fugitive on another's chariot, and the grand name only sharpens the sense of his powerlessness.
