To splinters that chariot of his, the charioteer, and all the weapons Ghatotkacha hacked, and roared most fiercely. Then Karna with hosts of arrows, and other Kurus by the thousand, and Alambala he showered, like a cloud -- the unmoving mountain Meru. Then the army of the Kurus, harried by the rakshasa, was thrown into turmoil; one upon another, the fourfold army he crushed. The son of Jatasura, O great king, without a chariot, his charioteer slain, struck Ghatotkacha in battle, enraged, hard with his fist.

Stripped of his chariot, Alambala does not retreat, but fights with his fist: fury finds a weapon even in the bare hand. It is telling that the battle of giants descends from arrows to hand-to-hand combat -- to the primal power of bodies. The verse teaches that the loss of weapons does not take away the will to fight: a true warrior fights with what remains, even a fist; and beneath the craft of arms lies the original strength that does not surrender while breath remains in the body.
