Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how, in war, coordinated action and speed can overwhelm an opponent; ethically, it points to the tension between strategic necessity and ideals of fair, single combat (yuddha-dharma).
Sañjaya reports that Jalasaṃdha, Vikarṇa, Citrasena, and Viviṃśati rush in and surround a target from all sides during a critical, hurried moment in the battle.
