'Once they encounter me, whose arrow never fails, the Pandavas together with the Panchalas will flee in the ten directions, like bulls before a tiger. What has the crush of battle or wisely spoken counsel to do with Bhishma — an old man, feeble of soul and confounded by time? He is forever rivaling the whole world and counts no one else as a man, this man of false vision. "Elders should be listened to" — such is the teaching of the shastra; but not the excessively old, for they are once again reckoned as children. I alone will slay the Pandavas, of this there is no doubt; but in fair combat, O tiger among kings, the glory will fall to Bhishma.'

In this chapter the hidden rift within the Kaurava camp becomes visible. Bhishma calls Karna a half-ratha not out of simple dislike: he is pointing to the loss of Karna's natural armor, to the curses laid on him, and to his unreliability at the decisive moment. But Karna hears this as public humiliation and answers even more destructively, calling into question Bhishma's very ability to judge warriors. Thus, on the eve of war, the weakness of Duryodhana's side becomes apparent: an outwardly immense army is already cracking from within, undone by pride, rivalry, and an inability to accept the truth.
