Educational Q&A
Even when divine forces appear in the narrative, they do not annul moral causality; their departure underscores that the war’s outcomes unfold within a larger order where actions and duties bear consequences.
Bhīṣma describes a moment after which the Lord of the gods (Indra) leaves, accompanied by the assembled deities, marking the end of a celestial episode and a transition back to the human battlefield narrative.
