When Shalya had been felled by Bhimasena, and Karna grew apprehensive, the alarmed kings all surrounded Vrikodara and said together: "Glorious are these bull-like brahmins; let it be known of what lineage they are and where they dwell. For who is able to fight in battle with the son of Radha, except Rama, Drona, or Kripa, son of Sharadvata?"

Here the deed itself betrays those in disguise. It is telling that the kings, by valor alone, sense a high lineage: "only the greatest are capable of this" — the feat reveals what the appearance conceals. Here it is shown that a person's truth is made known by their deeds: not clothing but action bears witness to who one is. Thus the scripture reveals that hidden greatness betrays itself through action; and the kings, marveling, begin to suspect something greater in these "brahmins."
