Then, enraged, with other sharp arrows, the mighty one slew three men with three arrows -- Sushena, Dirghalochana, and Kundabhedin. Karna struck him with twenty-five naracha arrows, Ashvatthaman with twenty, Kritavarman with seven. He, wholly torn by arrows, in fury, the grandson of Indra, ranging through the host, appeared just like Death itself with a noose in hand.

Torn by hundreds of arrows, the boy does not weaken but shows himself as 'Death itself with a noose' -- an image in which the one exhausted by wounds becomes a terror to all. Thus supreme valor, in the very midst of torment, reaches its limit, turning the sufferer into an instrument of death for his enemies. It is telling that he is called 'grandson of Indra' -- the blood of the celestial shows itself in superhuman endurance. The verse teaches that true strength of spirit does not diminish in suffering but rises to a fearsome limit; that a wounded hero can be more terrible than an unhurt one, for he has nothing left to lose; and that in the image of the boy as 'Death with a noose,' bleeding yet still sowing destruction, that height of valor reveals itself at which bodily weakness no longer holds power over the spirit.
