Seeing the divine weapon employed by Karna, Ghatotkacha, the rakshasa, scion of the line of Pandu, displayed a great feat of magic: surrounded by a vast army of terrible-faced rakshasas bearing spears and hammers, with rocks and trees in their hands. Seeing him with his great bow raised, the kings were struck with dread: he advanced as if he were the destroyer of beings, bearing the terrible rod of Time. Terrified by the lion-roar released by Ghatotkacha, the elephants voided their urine in fear, and the men trembled violently.

Ghatotkacha answers the divine weapon with sorcery -- a phantom army of rakshasas: where strength falls short, illusion steps in. It is telling that terror from a single roar overwhelms the warriors before any blow is struck. The verse teaches that both deception and illusion are instruments of war; but a phantom, however terrifying, remains a phantom -- and Karna, unshaken, will dispel it. True steadfastness does not yield to induced fear.
