The verse highlights how fear and moral decline can overtake even a ruler: when one’s allies and support are destroyed, the confidence born of power collapses, revealing the fragility of kingship grounded in adharma rather than dharma.
Sañjaya reports that Duryodhana, with his remaining attendants wiped out, leaves his horse on the battlefield and flees toward the east out of fear.
