...where Drona is the deep abyss, Kritavarman the great whirlpool, Jalasandha the great crocodile, and Karna swelled it like the rising moon; when, breaking through the ocean of the army, the bull of the Pandavas swiftly passed, Sanjaya, with but a single chariot, and Yuyudhana too — I see no remainder of my army there, once Savyasachin and Satvata, the valiant warrior, had entered, Sanjaya.

The army-ocean, with Drona as its abyss and Karna as its tide, is nonetheless breached "ekarathena," by a single chariot. The disproportion is striking: the boundless is overcome by the singular. It is telling that the army's grandeur only sets off the strength of the one behind whom the Lord stands. The verse teaches that before the will of the Almighty every measure of earthly might collapses: what seemed an ocean is cleft by the lone chariot of a devotee, for it is not sheer mass that decides, but the presence of God on the side of righteousness.
