Having heard Drona's word, the king of Trigarta [Sushaman], together with his brothers, O king, spoke this speech: "We are forever wronged, O king, by the wielder of the Gandiva [Arjuna]; though we are innocent, he does us harm, O lord of the Bharatas. And so we, bearing in mind those insults of every kind, consumed by the flame of fury, never know sleep by night."

The Trigartas nurse an old grievance: "bearing in mind the insults, consumed by the flame of fury, we know no sleep." Here the nature of resentment is exposed: it burns the one who holds it, robbing him of peace, and the aggrieved becomes a prisoner of his own grievance. Telling is their claim "though innocent" — a self-justification typical of the resentful, who see themselves as victims. The verse teaches that an unreleased grievance is a fire that scorches its bearer above all; that resentment steals sleep and peace, turning life into ceaseless torment; and that enmity nursed for years seeks only an occasion to pour itself out — and so readily attaches itself to any unjust cause.
