Did your army not perish at the roar of Gandiva, when Arjuna, uttering a terrifying [cry], swiftly advanced upon you? Did Dhananjaya [Arjuna] not drive you off with arrows, away from Drona, scattering you as a gale scatters clouds — he, the rushing wind, [driving] a forest of arrows? When the hosts shook, when dread seized the heroes — who did not abandon Drona there, and who, cowardly, fled in fear?

The question 'who did not abandon Drona, and who fled?' draws a line between the faithful and the fainthearted: the trial of fear divides the army into the steadfast and the fleeing. It is telling that Dhritarashtra himself calls those who fled 'contemptible' (kṣudra): even he, father of the unjust cause, honors loyalty and despises cowardice. The image of Arjuna as a gale scattering the hosts like clouds shows that before the storm of justice the army of wrong is scattered. The verse teaches that the hour of terror lays bare who is faithful and who is worthless; that even the unrighteous prize steadfastness, for valor is honored by all; and that an army gathered for a wrongful cause disperses in the hour of storm, because it is bound not by truth but by fear and greed.
