Then, for Satvata's sake, the son of Bhimasena [Ghatotkaca] hurled a new, sturdy, terrible mace at Somadatta's chest. That mace, flying headlong, fearsome to behold, the Kaurava [Somadatta] cut in two in the melee, as if laughing. And the great iron mace fell, cut in two, like a great mountain peak split by the vajra. Then Satyaki, O king, in the encounter severed Somadatta's bow with a broad-headed arrow, and his arm-guard with five arrows.

Ghatotkaca, the rakshasa, enters the fight with a mace, but Somadatta cuts it in two as the vajra cleaves a mountain peak. It is telling that here too the warrior severs the fearsome weapon 'as if laughing': skill honed by discipline stands against the rakshasa's raw force. The verse teaches that skill overcomes brute power: the heavy mace, a measure of bodily strength, is powerless against the precise stroke of a hand guided by experience; not bulk but accuracy decides the outcome.
