The verse highlights how warfare tends to intensify: a combatant’s return invites harsher retaliation. Ethically, it reflects the tragic momentum of kṣatriya conflict—valor expressed through repeated wounding, while compassion is eclipsed by the demands of battle.
Sañjaya reports to the king that when the opponent returned to the fight, Sātyaki (Śaineya) saw him and repeatedly pierced and tore him with very sharp arrows, increasing the ferocity of his attack.
