Educational Q&A
The verse highlights disciplined martial duty: a warrior first neutralizes immediate threats and safeguards the king, then turns to face major adversaries—valor guided by responsibility rather than mere aggression.
Sañjaya describes a powerful hero who repels those trying to restrain him, fights briefly with force, then releases the king from his immediate protection/hold and advances to engage Jayadratha and other rulers in battle.
