With goads, with the tips of bows, with cries of "hum", with skillful urging, and with blows of whip and heel, and with fierce words, hastily urging on their horses, your [warriors] fled -- horsemen and chariot-warriors and footmen, tormented by Arjuna. Others, urging on their elephants with heels, with toes, with goads; and others, stunned by arrows, rushed straight toward him, facing him.

The chapter closes with an image of utter disarray: some flee in terror with all their strength, others, "śaraiḥ saṃmohitāḥ", stunned, rush on their maddened elephants straight at Arjuna -- destruction drawing them to itself. It is telling that both flight and involuntary approach lead to the same end. The verse teaches that there is no escape from retribution once it has begun: neither flight nor bewildered advance can save them; those darkened by fate rush toward their own destruction, and the disintegration of the army of iniquity shows that judgment upon wrong has already become inescapable.
