"Then all, fallen in spirit, frightened like timid game, were the counselors of Suyodhana, and King Jayadratha too. Then, rising with his counselors, dejected, the lord of the Sauviras and Sindhus came to his own camp, grievously distressed. Taking counsel at the hour of deliberation about all salutary measures, he spoke this word to Suyodhana in the assembly of kings."

Krishna conveys even the enemy's mood: "trastāḥ kṣudramṛgāḥ iva", "frightened, like timid game." It is significant that the fearsome king of Sindhu and Duryodhana's counselors are likened to small creatures sensing the hunter: an unrighteous cause robs even the strong of courage. Thus Arjuna's vow has already done its work without a drop of blood shed — it has planted fear in the enemy camp. The verse teaches that a guilty conscience makes even the powerful timid: where there is no foothold in truth, the fearsome turns into trembling game, and numerical superiority does not restore the spirit that has been lost.
