Educational Q&A
The line highlights vidhivat—acting with due procedure and disciplined preparation. Even in a chaotic battlefield, actions are portrayed as requiring order, planning, and adherence to accepted norms, reflecting a dharmic ideal of regulated conduct.
Sanjaya describes a transition: after a prior event, a horse is urged forward and the necessary arrangements are made properly, indicating the commencement of a planned movement or operation within the ongoing battle sequence.
