Educational Q&A
Martial strength is fragile when rooted only in numbers and pride; once key warriors fall, fear spreads and an army’s cohesion dissolves, revealing the ethical cost and instability inherent in war.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that after certain prominent heroes were killed, the Kaurava forces lost heart and fled from the battlefield.
