And he, without a chariot, righteous, stood with a bow in hand, fought with your son, scattering many hundreds of arrows. With a razor-headed arrow he [Duhshasana] cut down his bow, skillfully; then he struck him, weaponless, with ten broad-headed arrows. Seeing him there without a chariot, his brothers, great warriors, rushed after headlong together with a great army. Then he [Prativindhya] leapt onto the resplendent chariot of Sutasoma and, taking up a bow, O great king, pierced your son.

Prativindhya, "righteous," fights on foot, deprived of his chariot, without thought of retreat, until his brothers come to his aid. It is notable that the epithet "dharmatma" — righteous of soul — is applied to a warrior in the very thick of the slaughter: piety and battle are not at odds here. The verse teaches that faithfulness to duty shows itself in steadfastness: the righteous man does not abandon the field when his supports are lost; and the mutual rescue of brothers is that living fabric of kinship for whose sake, in truth, this bitter war is being waged.
