Arms — with finger-guards and bracers put on, with arrows, shields, and bows, with swords, shields, goads, and reins, with javelins and axes, with iron-tipped prasas, with blades, tomaras, and pattishas, with bhindipalas and parighas, with shakti-spears and javelins, with whips and conches, with pikes, [still] clutching hair, with hammers and missiles, with lassos, clubs, and stones — sturdy arms in armlets and bracelets, anointed with fragrances — the son of Arjuna cut off from your men by the thousands.

The long enumeration of severed arms, still clutching every kind of weapon, is an image of countless actions interrupted — thousands of efforts cut off at their very height. Especially grievous is the arm 'clutching the hair of a foe': even in its dying moment it did not release its grip. And these arms are 'in armlets, anointed with fragrances' — adorned for life, they are severed in death. The verse teaches that war cuts short the effort of the living in the very act of its accomplishment — the arm falls before finishing its blow; that ornaments and fragrances, tokens of peaceful ease, are futile on the field of death; and that the tradition, dwelling on these severed arms still holding their weapons and adornments, reveals the utter mercilessness and suddenness of death overtaking a man in the midst of action and life.
