He again, O best of the Bharatas, with the corners of his eyes crimson from anger, clapped palm against palm, bit his lip, and advanced in a terrible form, with that victorious chariot and banner, to single combat with the son of Drona once more — that destroyer of enemies. Then, enraged, the rakshasa hurled at the son of Drona an eight-wheeled, most terrible thunderbolt fashioned by Rudra. Leaping down from his chariot, Drauni caught it, laid his bow upon the chariot, and hurled it back at him; the other leapt down from his own chariot. Turning the car — with its horses, charioteer, and banner — to ashes, that greatly radiant, most terrible thunderbolt entered the earth, tearing it open.

Ashvatthaman catches the thunderbolt hurled by Rudra and throws it back — a superhuman feat. It is telling that Ghatotkacha manages to leap clear, yet his chariot is reduced to ashes: the weapons of the gods show no mercy. The verse teaches that supreme presence of mind can turn an enemy's own weapon against him; and one who catches a thunderbolt in flight displays a composure before which even divine power gives way.
