Vaiśampāyana said: O King, because the load upon the vehicles was excessive, they halted at intervals of two krośas. That vast army, strained by the weight of the goods, yet increasing the joy and confidence of the foremost Kuru heroes, carried that wealth toward the city only with great difficulty. The passage underscores how material gain, even when rightful, demands discipline, endurance, and orderly conduct from those who bear it.

Even legitimate wealth and success impose practical burdens; dharmic leadership requires discipline, measured pacing, and care for people and resources so that prosperity does not become disorder or harm.
The army is transporting a large quantity of goods/treasure toward a city. Because the carts are overloaded, they halt every two krośas, and the journey proceeds with great difficulty, though it boosts the morale of the Kuru heroes.
