Citraketu and Sudhanvan, and Citravarman, O Bharata, and also Citraratha, distressed by their brother's calamity, rushed together upon the son of Bharadvaja, eager for battle, casting showers of arrows as clouds do at the close of the hot season. He, struck many times over by the princes, the great chariot-warriors, enraged in the fight, stripped the princes of their horses, charioteers, and chariots.

The brothers rush to avenge the fallen -- "bhrātṛvyasanakarṣitāḥ", distressed by their brother's calamity: love of kin drives them toward certain ruin. It is telling that family attachment, unlit by discernment, leads them all into the same abyss. The verse teaches that vengeance for a loved one, unweighed by reason, only multiplies loss: grief for a brother pulls the brothers after him, and unassuaged sorrow, turned into a rush to avenge, destroys the avengers one after another.
