"[Drona,] who now, as though defenseless, was slain so cruelly by the son of Prishata — his avenger [Ashvatthaman] now stands ready. Where the son of Panchala seized my teacher by the lock of his hair — that Drauni, aware of his own manhood, will never forgive. My teacher was falsely deceived by you for the sake of the kingdom; you, a knower of dharma, have committed that great unrighteousness."

Arjuna spares not even his royal brother: "my teacher was deceived by you for the sake of the kingdom." It is significant how sharp the charge is — "being a knower of dharma," Yudhishthira committed adharma: the sin of one who knows the law and breaks it is heavier still. The verse teaches that knowledge of dharma does not excuse its violation but aggravates it; and one reputed righteous falls further than a simple man, for he has betrayed not ignorance but the very light he carried.
