The Panchalya [Dhrishtadyumna], stripped of his chariot and all his weapons yet undespairing, great of soul, Bhima, the self-controlled one, hastening, came near. Then, having raised the Panchalya onto his own chariot, the crusher of foes said, having looked at Drona, who was shooting arrows nearby: "No man here but you dares to fight with the Acharya; hasten then to his swift destruction — upon you rests this burden."

Bhima saves the disarmed yet unconquered Dhrishtadyumna and lays upon him the heavy burden: "none but you." It is telling that even in helplessness Dhrishtadyumna "did not fall in spirit" — firmness is born not of weapons but of the purpose one is born to serve. The verse teaches that true courage rests not on outward means but on inward resolve; and one entrusted with a great task bears it as duty, not as honor.
