Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Even in war, outcomes are shaped not only by strength but by inner order—discipline, unity, and righteous purpose. When fear and confusion spread, an army’s power dissolves; the episode underscores how adharma and poor leadership can precipitate collective collapse.

What is happening in the narrative?

This is the chapter-ending colophon: it announces that the ninety-third chapter of the Karṇa Parva has concluded, and that its subject is the flight/rout of the Kaurava forces.
