वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even after great victories, dharma is tested in protecting those left vulnerable amid social breakdown; the verse highlights the ethical burden of safeguarding women and remnants of wealth when law and order have collapsed.
After the Yādavas’ destruction and ensuing chaos, Arjuna gathers the surviving women and the few remaining valuables (most having been looted) and proceeds to Kurukṣetra.
