'Striving, the heroes who did not turn away from my cause have fallen, having striven with all their might to overcome my foes. Before them, O scorcher of foes, having discharged my debt to the extent of my power, I shall now feed them with memorial water along the Yamuna. Truly I swear to you, O best of all warriors — I swear by the merit of good deeds, by valor, and by my sons: having struck down in battle all of them, the Panchalas together with the Pandavas, I shall find peace; or else, falling in battle, I shall attain the same world as them.'

Duryodhana intends to pay his debt to the fallen not with peace but with fresh bloodshed — he swears to annihilate the Panchalas and Pandavas. It is telling that his sincere grief brings forth not reconciliation but a redoubled resolve for slaughter. The verse teaches that guilt not turned toward repentance seeks a false redemption in vengeance; and one who wishes to "repay" the fallen with new deaths only continues the very evil for which he blames himself, finding no way out of the circle of blood.
