"This greedy man destroys the kshatriyas as a tiger does small beasts. Into grievous worlds shall Duryodhana, sinful and evil-minded, go — he by whose greed the bulls among kshatriyas have been slain in battle, and now lie by the hundreds upon the ground, like slaughtered bulls, their limbs drenched in blood, turned into food for dogs and jackals." Having spoken thus, O great king, Drupada, lord of an akshauhini, setting the Parthas in front in the battle, rushed swiftly upon Drona.

Drupada perceives the root of the slaughter: "yasya lobhāt vinihatāḥ" — by Duryodhana's greed the bulls among kshatriyas have been slain, and "kṛcchrān lokān prāpsyati," the sinful one shall go to grievous worlds. It is telling that the warrior-sage lays the blame not on Drona who strikes, but on the greed that drove him. The verse teaches that the true culprit of bloodshed is the covetousness that kindled the war: the greed for whose sake hundreds perish brings upon its instigator the heaviest fate after death, for he himself must answer for blood shed by his own avarice.
