Here Bhima, striking down the enemy, pronounces judgment on a life lived in vain. The sixfold "vṛthā" ("in vain") is telling: body, nourishment, growth, mind, death — all are named futile; a life given over to devouring people turns out to be nothing. In this lies a bitter lesson: existence without dharma is barren, however mighty and well-fed it may be; whoever lives for evil lives in vain. Telling too is the contrast: flesh nourished on the death of others itself turns to nothing. The verse shows that the measure of life is not strength or abundance but dharma; and the man-eater who rejected it dies "in vain," leaving nothing of himself behind.
