ແລະພວກນັ້ນໄດ້ບີບຄັ້ນເຂົາຢ່າງໜັກ ກົດທັບແລະຄອບງໍາ—ດັ່ງອິນທຣີຍະທີ່ຄອບງໍາຄົນໂງ່ຜູ້ບໍ່ມີວິໄນ. ຄໍາບັນຍາຍນີ້ຊີ້ໃຫ້ເຫັນວ່າ ການຂາດການຄຸ້ມຄອງຕົນເອງ ທໍາໃຫ້ຄົນເປັນເປົ້າທີ່ຖືກຄອບງໍາງ່າຍ ເຊັ່ນດຽວກັນກັບນັກຮົບທີ່ບໍ່ມີຜູ້ໜຸນຊ່ວຍ ຍ່ອມຖືກກົດທັບໃນສົງຄາມ.

Educational Q&A
The verse uses a moral-psychological simile: uncontrolled senses dominate a foolish person; similarly, in conflict, a vulnerable or unsupported individual can be overwhelmed. It implicitly praises self-restraint (indriya-nigraha) as a safeguard against defeat and humiliation.
Sañjaya describes a moment in the battle where a group closes in on an opponent and crushes him with pressure from all sides, likening their overpowering force to the way the senses can overpower an undiscerning person.
