Dhrishtadyumna, Bhima, and the great chariot-warrior Satyaki, closing in on Karna, wounded him with three straight-flying arrows each. But Radheya, warding off Arjuna's weapon with showers of arrows, cut through the bows of those three with three arrows. Those warriors, disarmed, like snakes without venom, raised their chariot-javelins and roared mightily, like lions.

The disarmed warriors are likened to 'snakes without venom' — a warrior stripped of his weapon is like a snake whose fangs have been pulled: fearsome to see, but rendered harmless. Yet they do not surrender: raising their javelins, they roar like lions — valor seeks a new weapon the instant the old one is taken. It is telling that Karna alone repels three warriors and disarms them — a measure of his greatness. The verse teaches that a warrior without a weapon is not yet defeated if his spirit remains unbroken — he reaches for something else and fights on; that true strength lies not in equipment but in an indomitable will, which roars like a lion even when its fangs are drawn; and that only a truly great man can overcome three of the mightiest warriors at once, as Karna remains, for all the wrongness of his cause.
