Seeing his uncle [Kripa] so wounded by the suta's son, Drauni [Ashvatthaman], swiftly raising his sword, rushed forward: "Karna, behold, most feeble-minded one, stand now, most vile one; now I shall take your head from your body, most witless one." As he swooped down swiftly, King Duryodhana himself restrained him, O great king, and so did Kripa, best among men.

Ashvatthaman draws his sword for his insulted uncle: kinship's love flares into wrath. It is telling that discord ripens within the camp itself — allies stand ready to kill one another. The verse teaches that strife within one's own ranks is more dangerous than the enemy outside; where comrades draw swords against each other, their cause is already broken from within, however strong the foe without.
