ते त्वां हंससधर्माणम् अपीमे वसुधाधिपाः ॥

"You, like that swan, these lords of the earth too would slay, O Bhishma, enraged, as the birds slew that egg-eater. And a song is sung here by people who know the ancient lore — I will truly tell it to you, O Bharata: 'Your heart is set [upon evil], yet you cry out falsely, O winged one; unclean is your eating of eggs; your deed surpasses [and exposes] your word.'"

The tirade closes with a saying that, by the blindness of its speaker, strikes straight at himself: "deed surpasses word." It is telling that the measure itself is righteous — a man is known not by his speech but by his deeds. But it must be applied to Shishupala himself: his "deed" — reviling the Lord, demeaning the righteous, calling for revolt — has far surpassed his loud talk of dharma. The verse teaches an unbending rule of discernment: where word diverges from deed, trust the deed; and whoever judges others by this measure must first measure himself by it. The accuser, having pronounced a true verdict, passed sentence not on Bhishma but on his own head.
