As he ranged through all the directions and intermediate directions in the battle, the form of the enraged Abhimanyu became invisible. All that was golden about him — his armor, his ornaments, his bow, and his arrows — that alone we saw. Him then no one could gaze upon with his eyes, taking the lives of warriors with his arrows, abiding in the midst of the host like the sun.

The boy becomes invisible — only the gold of his armor and the gleam of his bow betray him, and "no one could gaze upon him with his eyes," as upon the sun. Thus the tradition again crowns him with the image of a luminary one cannot look at directly: his valor has reached a blinding limit. It is significant that in his very invisibility lies the highest visibility of glory. The verse teaches that greatness at its limit becomes like the sun — dazzling, upon which the eye cannot be raised; that true valor, having hidden its very form behind the brilliance of its deeds, thereby shows itself all the brighter; and that the tradition, leaving us with the image of the boy-sun, upon whom one cannot look, raises his glory to its zenith — a moment before this sun, by an inexorable law, begins to decline toward its swift and sorrowful sunset.
