Neither his horses nor his chariot, neither his banner nor Ghatotkacha himself, could they see in the battle, hidden by hosts of arrows. But he, dispelling Karna's divine weapon with his own, the sorcerer, fought the son of the suta with a battle of illusion. He fought then with Karna by sorcery and swiftness, invisible, then swooping in the sky amid webs of arrows. The son of Bhimasena, the great sorcerer, O best of the Kurus, worked a great sorcery by magic, as though bewildering everyone, O Bharata.

Ghatotkacha fights "with sorcery and swiftness," unseen: where direct strength fails, cunning and agility take over. It is telling that the rakshasa does not yield to Karna, turning the battle into a contest of illusions. The verse teaches that struggle is waged not by force alone but also by the art of deception, concealment, and speed; and one weaker in open combat finds other paths — for each has his own gift, and the wise fight with the weapon in which they are strong.
