"He who showed us the utmost, highest friendship has now been slain — for his sake I shall go to my death together with my kinsmen." As Kaunteya spoke thus, Dasharha [Krishna], swiftly restraining the army with his arms, spoke these words: "Quickly lay down your weapons and dismount from your chariots and mounts; this is the means ordained here for repelling [the weapon of] the great soul [Narayana]."

Where Yudhishthira sees only death, Krishna points to salvation: lay down your weapons, step down to the ground. It is telling that the antidote to an all-crushing force is not greater force but surrender — and only one who knows the secret of the weapon knows this. The verse teaches that what leads out of hopelessness is not despair or fury but knowledge and humility; and where the righteous man is ready to die, the wise one shows the path of life — through the refusal to fight.
