"Without repelling this army, it is impossible to slay Jayadratha, for all these, for the sake of the Sindhian, have renounced their lives. A forest of arrows, spears, and banners, swarming with horses and elephants — look at this array of the sons of Dhritarashtra, so hard to approach. Listen to the roar of the kettledrums and the abundant sounds of conches, and the lion-roars, and the clatter of chariot-rims; and listen to the trumpeting of elephants, and the footmen by thousands, and the racing horsemen — listen to those who shake the earth."

The defenders of Jayadratha, sarve saṃtyaktajīvitāḥ, have all renounced their lives: the barrier is the more formidable for being made up of men ready to die. It is telling that the wall around the one in the wrong is made strong by desperate resolve, not by righteousness. The verse teaches that even an unjust cause breeds self-sacrifice, and the fearsomeness of a barrier is no sign of its rightness: men are willing to die even for wrong. Hence such a wall is hardest of all to overcome — yet also the most futile, since lives are laid down for a cause already doomed.
