Translation
He [Aśvatthāmā] had already lost his bodily luster due to infanticide, and now, moreover, having lost the jewel from his head, he lost even more strength. Thus he was unbound and driven out of the camp.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Aśvatthāmā, who had lost his effulgence by killing the children, was further deprived of his jewel and energy. Arjuna released him from the bondage of the ropes and led him from the camp.
Purport
Thus being insulted, the humiliated Aśvatthāmā was simultaneously killed and not killed by the intelligence of Lord Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna.
