Then, with eyes copper-red from wrath, like a consuming fire, he set to his bow the weapon of Tvashtar — himself, O venerable one, like Tvashtar. Then thousands of arrows appeared on every side; by those arrows a very great rout befell your army. That weapon, released by Bhimasena in battle, having shattered the great illusion of the rakshasa, tormented the rakshasa himself.

Bhima answers delusion with "tvāṣṭram astram", the weapon of Tvashtar, the divine shaper of forms: true strength dispels false appearances. "Rākṣasasya mahāmāyāṃ hatvā" — the illusion is shattered, and the helplessness of the one who hid behind it stands exposed. It is telling that illusion perishes before the light of higher knowledge. The verse teaches that the delusion of evil, however many-faced, is dispelled by the power of truth; and one armed with knowledge descending from above scatters delusion as the sun scatters darkness.
