There is none other than me in this world—save perhaps Arjuna—who is the supreme knower of weapons; for I, like the sun amid its blazing rays, am the wielder of the god-created weapons, come now into the ranks. For the sons of Krishashva [the divine weapons], loosed by me now in this great battle, displaying their power, will crush the Pandavas. Now, O king, all the quarters of the world will be seen here as if filled with torrents, covered with my sharp arrows.

Even in his boasting Ashvatthaman speaks truly, ranking beside himself only Arjuna—an admission that betrays his own sincerity. It is telling that he thinks of his power not as his own but as divine: the "sons of Krishashva," weapons granted from above. The verse teaches that the greatest strength in human hands is borrowed, entrusted by a higher source; and one who forgets this and claims it as his own turns a gift into sin—for what was given to protect dharma he now turns to its violation.
