Beholding the formation in the shape of Suparna-Garuda, built by Drona, Yudhishthira drew up a counter-array in the shape of a "half-circle." The beak of that Garuda was Drona himself, the great charioteer; the head was King Duryodhana with his own brothers and retinue; the two eyes were Kritavarman and Gautama-Kripa, the very foremost of bowmen, [along with] Bhutavarman, Kshemasharman, and the valorous Karakarsha.

The army is arrayed in the likeness of Garuda — the king of birds, Vishnu's carrier, the mighty destroyer of serpents. The image is fearsome and majestic, but its irony is bitter: the banner of him who serves the Lord is here raised over a host marching against His devotees. It is telling that at the head, as the "beak," stands Drona — the point by which the whole array strikes; the teacher has become the weapon of another's design. The verse teaches that outward form — even the most sacred — does not sanctify the cause it serves; that the shape of Garuda over an unjust host remains mere semblance; and that a man's place in the array betrays his role: the one raised to the point bears both the chief blow and the chief responsibility for where that blow is aimed.
