"He, in a guard for his fingers, the son of Nishada, firm in valor, a lone marksman, a forest-dweller, shone like a second Rama. For neither the gods nor the danavas, with the rakshasas and serpents, O Partha, could ever conquer Ekalavya with his thumb in battle. What then to speak of a mere human — it was scarcely possible even to gaze upon him, firm-fisted, skilled, shooting ceaselessly day and night. Yet for your own benefit he was slain by me at the forefront of battle; and the valiant king of Chedi [Shishupala] was slain before your very eyes."

Ekalavya, a self-taught man of the forest, shone "like a second Rama" — greatness does not depend on lineage or teacher. It is significant that Krishna, who arranged his removal, still gives him the highest praise. This verse teaches that true talent breaks through even without patrons: a forest hunter surpassed princes; and one whom fate condemned to removal is still honored for valor — for truth does not diminish greatness even where it is compelled to remove it.
