"Get down onto the ground, all of you, from your elephants, horses, and chariots; thus it will not kill you, unarmed, on the ground. The more the warriors fight against the power of the weapon, the stronger these Kauravas [and the weapon] become. But whoever lays down his weapons and dismounts from his vehicle — that weapon will not slay him in battle."

Krishna reveals the law of the weapon: it grows from resistance and fades before the unarmed. It is telling that what saves is not valor but surrender — the renunciation of hostility in deed and in thought alike. The verse teaches that there are powers overcome only by non-resistance; and the meekness that pride takes for weakness proves the sole shield where all strength only multiplies ruin.
