"Those heroes there told varied tales of martial matters — of divine weapons, chariots, elephants, swords, maces, and axes; those tales of theirs, being recounted, the son of the Panchala king then overheard, and he saw Krishna, so reclining; and all his men saw them too."

Here the very conversation betrays the kshatriya nature of the supposed brahmins. It is telling that these "brahmins" discourse on divine weapons, chariots, and elephants: what a man speaks of at rest reveals his true nature. What is within cannot be hidden — the heart speaks through the tongue, and a warrior's spirit breaks through in conversation. So the scripture shows how Dhrishtadyumna, from their talk, becomes certain that these are not brahmins but kshatriyas before him; and what is concealed betrays itself.
