Then with sharp, well-loosed arrows resembling Death itself, he deprived the horses of life, and both flank charioteers as well; and, valiant, he shattered his pied bow and his protective wristguard, and Savyasachin set about to smash his chariot to splinters. And Arjuna then pierced Duryodhana, bereft of his chariot, in both palms with two sharp arrows.

Unable to pierce the enchanted armor, Arjuna strikes around it: the horses, the charioteers, the bow, the wristguard, and finally — "hastatalayoḥ", both palms holding the weapon. It is significant that the wisdom of valor bypasses what cannot be pierced, stripping it of its support instead; the armor remains whole, but the warrior within it is left helpless. The verse teaches that what is unconquerable in one respect is vulnerable in another, and victory belongs not to the one who strikes the wall, but to the one who takes from the enemy all that his strength rests upon.
