Thus that battlefield, terrible to see, on the threshold of night resembling the realm of the Lord of the Fathers, swarming with risen throngs of headless bodies — surveying it, the men slowly abandoned it. And then the people beheld, struck down in battle, the god-like maharatha Abhimanyu, his costly ornaments fallen and shattered, like fire in the abode of sacrifice from which the offering has been carried away.

The chapter closes with the same countenance it opened with, now extinguished: the god-like boy, "his ornaments fallen," lies "like fire in the sacrificial hall from which the offering has been taken away." The image "vyapoḍha-havyam… pāvakam" is perfect: Abhimanyu was a sacrificial fire ready to receive its portion — but lawlessness took from this fire its due offering, cutting short the sacrifice by forbidden means. The field itself is likened to "the realm of Yama." Here the verse teaches that a righteous life unjustly cut short remains an unfinished sacrifice — and this unfinishedness cries out for the restoration of dharma louder than any accusation.
