Educational Q&A
Even when one is surrounded by family, advisors, and retainers, war and moral consequence can strip away inner assurance; external supports cannot substitute for right conduct and steady judgment.
Sañjaya describes a party in the war context as being accompanied by sons, grandsons, ministers, and servants, yet reduced to a state of hopelessness—signaling a turning point of fear, defeat, or impending ruin.
