Having slain Alayudha, the rakshasa Ghatotkacha, his spirit uplifted, let out various war cries, standing at the head of the army. Hearing that tumultuous cry of his, which shook the elephants, among your men, O great king, there was most terrible fear. Seeing the mighty son of Bhimasena engaged with Alayudha, the mighty-armed Karna charged at the Panchalas. With ten arrows each — firm, shot at full draw, smooth-notched — he pierced Dhrishtadyumna and Shikhandin.

A single cry of Ghatotkacha sows 'most terrible fear' — the voice of the storm before the storm itself. It is telling that Karna, seizing on the rakshasa's distraction, falls upon the Panchalas at once: a moment of the enemy's preoccupation is turned to advantage. The verse teaches that in battle the reckoning of timing is precious: while a fearsome foe is bound elsewhere, the striker finds his opening; and one who knows how to choose the moment deals his blow where the opponent's guard has slackened.
