[Duryodhana said:] 'Nor do I count it a wonder that you have so great a spirit, and toward us the highest devotion, O delight of Gautami [Ashvatthaman].' Having spoken thus to Ashvatthaman, he then said to Saubala [Shakuni], surrounded by a hundred thousand chariots shining in battle and sixty thousand elephants: 'Go you against Dhananjaya; Karna and Vrishasena, Kripa, and Nila as well...'

Duryodhana honors Ashvatthaman's devotion as something natural: 'I do not marvel at your supreme bhakti.' It is significant that even in the camp of the unrighteous, a teacher's devotion to the house is revered as the highest virtue. The verse teaches that fidelity to duty and attachment to one's own are worthy of recognition everywhere; yet devotion given to an unrighteous cause, as with Ashvatthaman, remains valor turned toward a ruinous end.
