"Now this turn, ruinous for our family, has overtaken us: food and one man must be given by me as payment. I have no wealth anywhere to buy a man, and I shall in no way be able to give up someone dear to me; and I see no way to be freed from that rakshasa."

Here all the threads of hopelessness converge. The brahmin's nobility is significant even in his helplessness: he does not think of buying another's life, even had he the means, and he will not give up his own — both paths are equally impossible for him. Here is a purity of conscience that will not seek salvation at the cost of another's ruin: a poor man does not trade in anyone's life. It is significant that, having exhausted every path, he "sees no way": human reasoning is powerless here. Thus the verse shows a limit beyond which only a strength from outside can help; and this very utter hopelessness opens the place for the miracle that Kunti and Bhima will work.
