Then, amid warriors adorned with gold, rumbling like rain clouds, surrounded by a hundred brave men who did not retreat, the son of the king of Panchala, Dhrishtadyumna, the maharatha, spoke this word to Drauni upon seeing the fallen warriors: 'Son of the teacher, foolish one, what use to you are other slain? Come face me, if you are brave in the clash.' Then Dhrishtadyumna the valiant struck that son of the teacher with sharp arrows piercing the vitals, O bull among the Bharatas.

Dhrishtadyumna challenges Ashvatthama to single combat: 'what use are others to you — come face me.' It is telling that the challenger is the future victim of the one he challenges: fate smiles at such boldness. The verse teaches that a challenge issued in pride may turn back upon the one who issued it; and one who calls an enemy to single combat cannot know whose hand will overtake whom in the hour appointed by fate.
