संजय उवाच
The verse highlights the reality of kṣatriya warfare: disciplined, collective action and unwavering engagement in one’s appointed duty, even when it brings harm and danger. It frames combat as organized effort rather than mere personal rage.
A group of elite archers advances together in chariot formations and launches a concentrated volley, wounding Arjuna with sharp arrows during the fighting described by Sanjaya.
