Educational Q&A
The verse underscores unwavering resolve and martial courage, while implicitly reminding the reader that such determination in war carries ethical weight—intention (jighāṃsā) is powerful and must be understood within the larger dharma-conflict of the Kurukṣetra war.
Sañjaya reports that Bhīma, Arjuna, and Sahadeva surge forward roaring like lions, intent on killing Duryodhana—signaling an escalation toward a direct confrontation with the Kaurava leader.
