Educational Q&A
The verse highlights impermanence and the overpowering momentum of events in war: individuals are swept along by forces larger than themselves (here symbolized by the wind), and what looks splendid can still be driven by destruction and inevitability.
Sanjaya describes to the king how the warriors are being lifted and scattered by the wind amid the battlefield, comparing their movement and appearance to birds flying off from trees in the right season.
