Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

As a chapter-colophon, the verse highlights a recurring ethical insight of the Mahābhārata: military strength is unstable when courage, discipline, and righteous leadership break down; retreat becomes a visible sign of inner collapse and moral disarray in war.

What is happening in the narrative?

Sañjaya marks the conclusion of the chapter in the Karṇa Parva, stating that the chapter’s subject was the Kaurava army’s flight/retreat, and formally closes the ninety-fourth adhyāya.
