Even in a dharma-framed war, the death of a great warrior is not merely a tactical event; it becomes a collective moral and emotional burden, reminding the listener that violence inevitably spreads suffering beyond the immediate target.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that upon the slaying of a prominent hero in the battle, a wave of grief seized everyone present—indicating the magnitude of the fallen warrior and the atmosphere of shock on the battlefield.
