সঞ্জয় ক’লে: তাক লক্ষ্য কৰি ডাঙৰকৈ গর্জন কৰি তেওঁলোকে ধনু কঁপাই উচলাই ধৰি দেখুৱালে—শত্রুক ভয় দেখুৱাবলৈ আৰু নিজৰ মনোবল দৃঢ় কৰিবলৈ এই উগ্ৰ প্ৰদৰ্শন, ৰণৰ নৈতিক চাপৰ মাজতো।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the psychological dimension of warfare: warriors use sound and display (roaring, brandishing bows) to project courage and unsettle the opponent, showing how external acts can bolster internal resolve even when the conflict carries ethical weight.
A group of fighters confronts a particular man and, roaring at him, shakes and brandishes their bows—signaling readiness to engage and attempting to intimidate him before or during combat.
