Sañjaya said: Bhimasena too, on the battlefield, clearly recounted to both Keshava (Krishna) and Arjuna the exact course of events—how Iravan was slain—so that the leaders might grasp what had occurred and respond in accordance with duty.

Educational Q&A
Even amid war, responsible action depends on truthful, precise reporting of events. Accurate testimony supports dharma by enabling leaders to decide without confusion, rumor, or passion.
On the battlefield, Bhima informs Krishna and Arjuna of the full and accurate account of Iravan’s death, ensuring they understand what has occurred in the ongoing conflict.
