अनुवाद

'Son of the Acharya, if this weapon cannot be used twice, then let the slayers of the guru be killed by other weapons, O best of weapon-masters. For you have divine weapons, as Tryambaka [Shiva] has; from you, willing and enraged, not even Purandara [Indra] would escape.'

भाष्य

Duryodhana, undeterred, turns his mind to other weapons: if not the astra, then some other might will strike down the slayers of the guru. It is telling that he compares Ashvatthaman to Shiva -- flattery meant to fan his rage. The verse teaches that an insatiable thirst for vengeance seeks ever new paths when one is closed off; and one who incites an avenger with praise of his power fans a fire that threatens to consume everyone -- for enmity, failing to find one weapon, reaches for another.
