Then, taking up another bow, the son of Shishupala, the great warrior, pierced Drona again with well-honed, firm arrows. Drona, the mighty one, having slain his horses and his charioteer, then overwhelmed him with twenty-five arrows. Chariotless and bowless, the king of Chedi, even so, in battle hurled a mace, enraged, at the chariot of the son of Bharadvaja.

Stripped of horses, bow, and chariot, Dhrishtaketu does not yield but seizes a mace: valor does not lay down its arms until the very end. It is telling that even the doomed fight on to the last. The verse teaches that the noble one fights as long as he can, never contemplating surrender: stripped of everything, he takes up what remains, for a warrior's honor lies not in the outcome but in not yielding while strength endures.
