And Drupada with his army, straining toward Drona, great warrior — Vrishasena swiftly attacked, scattering hundreds of arrows then. And Yajnasena [Drupada] in battle pierced Karna's son, great warrior, with sixty arrows, in the arms and in the chest, O sinless one. And Vrishasena, enraged, struck Yajnasena, who stood on the chariot, between the breasts with many sharp arrows. Both, with bodies battered by arrows, bristling with arrows in battle, blazed, O great king, like two porcupines in their quills.

Karna's son and the aged Drupada meet — youth and old age, equal in daring. It is notable that the warriors, riddled with arrows, are likened to porcupines: their wounds become an adornment. The verse teaches that valor reckons neither with age nor with lineage: the young man fights on equal terms with the elder, and both bear their wounds as marks of honor. In this fratricidal war it is not villains who meet but men of worth — and so the blood spilled is bitter twice over.
