Then, downcast, O king, your bulls among men — Vrishasena, Karna's son, Shalya, lord of Madra, and the son of Drona [Ashvatthaman] — surrounded Shainya on all sides. Then everything grew confused, nothing at all could be discerned. So, when Satyaki made the hero, the son of the suta, chariotless, a cry of "alas!" arose, O king, among all the armies. And Karna, bewildered, O king, tormented with arrows by the Satvata, mounted the chariot of Duryodhana, breathing heavily.

The formidable Karna, disarmed, mounts Duryodhana's chariot, breathing heavily: even the strongest can be brought to helplessness. It is notable that a cry of "alas!" rises in both armies — the sight of a fallen leader shakes them both. The verse teaches that no one on the battlefield is invincible; and one who seemed unconquerable yesterday now seeks another's chariot — a lesson on the fickleness of all power, however formidable it seems.
