Held back by arrows, Sahadeva left the fray. Overtaking him, Radheya, a moment later, O bull among Bharatas, said, smiling, a word to Sahadeva, O lord of peoples: "Do not fight in battle, O hero, with warriors who surpass you; fight with your equals, O son of Madri, do not disregard my word." Then, prodding him with the tip of his bow, he said again: "There Arjuna, eager in battle, fights with the Kurus; go there, O son of Madri, or home, if you prefer."

Karna does not kill the defeated youth, but stings him with words and a jab of the bow -- mercy poisoned by humiliation. It is telling that he drives the young man toward Arjuna or "home": mockery wounds more bitterly than a blow. The verse teaches that mercy given with arrogance wounds a man's dignity worse than a sword; to spare is a good, but to spare with contempt is cruelty of another kind. True generosity does not flaunt superiority over the one it has spared, nor turn a granted life into a reproach.
