"By him, [that boy], with arrows our fiercest foe Duhshasana, who had confronted him in battle, was in an instant robbed of his senses and put to flight. And he, the champion, having overcome the unconquerable vast sea of Drona's host, having reached the son of Duhshasana — the son of Krishna departed to the hall of Yama."

The contrast is cruel: he who only moments before had put Duhshasana himself to flight has now himself "departed to the abode of Vaivasvata". The image "droṇānīka-mahārṇavam… tīrtvā", "having overcome the vast sea of Drona's host", turns the battle formation into an ocean that the boy alone swam across — only to fall. It is telling that his slayer is not the mightiest warrior but "dauḥśāsanim", the son of that very Duhshasana whom he had just struck senseless: evil takes its revenge through the hands of the next generation. The verse teaches that the greatest feat and the bitterest death fit within a single breath of war.
