Educational Q&A
When grave danger arises, one should not freeze in fear; one must promptly undertake all necessary duties and practical measures, aligning action with responsibility (kṛtya) rather than panic.
Sañjaya, narrating events to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, delivers an urgent warning-like counsel: the situation has become critically threatening, and immediate decisive action is required.
