संजय उवाच
भीमसेनं समाकीर्णं दृष्ट्वास्त्रेण धनंजयः ॥
तेजसः प्रतिघातार्थं वारुणेन समावृणोत् ॥
नालक्षयत तं कश् चिद् वारुणास्त्रेण संवृतम् ॥
अर्जुनस्य लघुत्वाच् च संवृतत्वाच् च तेजसः ॥
साश्वसूतरथो भीमो द्रोणपुत्रास्त्रसंवृतः ॥
अग्नाव् अग्निर् इव न्यस्तो ज्वालामाली सुदुर्दृशः ॥

Seeing Bhimasena enveloped [showered] with weapons, Dhananjaya, in order to repel the heat, covered him with the weapon of Varuna. No one discerned him, covered by the weapon of Varuna, because of Arjuna's swiftness and because of being enveloped in heat. Bhima, together with his horses, charioteer, and chariot, enveloped by the weapon of Drona's son, was like fire placed within fire — wreathed in flame, hard to behold.

Arjuna shields his burning brother with the watery weapon of Varuna -- element against element, coolness against flame. It is telling that rescue comes not through force but through skillful counteraction: water is set against fire. The verse teaches that misfortune is overcome not by might alone but by knowledge of correspondences -- the right remedy against the right danger; and a brother's love, acting swiftly and wisely, turns aside what bare courage cannot withstand.
