Both Duhshasana and Duryodhana himself flee -- the very men whose stubbornness unleashed this war. It is telling that "handsome, young, valiant" retreats in confusion: neither youth nor courage holds firm where the spirit is broken. The verse teaches that outward merits -- bearing, years, a hero's fame -- without inner support turn to nothing before ruin's face; and one who persisted in wrongdoing is the first to lose his firmness when his shield falls.
