The image "mā vaḥ mūrdhni padaṃ kṛtvā", "without stepping over your heads", lays bare the essence of the request: to save him means to put the defenders' own heads in the line of fire. Jayadratha bargains outright: either shield me with yourselves, or let me go. It is significant that the coward sets a condition, threatening to leave, and thereby subjects the common cause to his own fear. The verse teaches that cowardice is self-serving: it seeks safety at another's expense and is ready to wreck the common cause if refused its own personal security; concern for oneself crowds out all concern for the cause.
