Having pierced his gold-adorned, priceless armor, they entered the earth, fierce, like snakes into an anthill. In the blink of an eye, he, taking another bow, pierced the Pandava with sixty arrows and the charioteer with nine. At him the Pandava of boundless spirit, O best of the Bharatas, having set down his great bow on the chariot, hurled a dart like a serpent. That gold-adorned, huge dart, hurled by the Pandava, pierced his right arm and entered the ground.

Arrows, piercing armor, sink into the earth "like snakes into an anthill": the deadly vanishes for a moment, but does not disappear. It is telling that Yudhishthira, usually restrained, sets aside his bow and seizes a dart — the battle has driven the righteous one to a fierce exertion of strength. The verse teaches that even the gentlest, pushed to the limit, reveals a hidden might; virtue is not powerlessness, and the patient man, when other means are spent, strikes with a force no one expected from his meekness.
