The verse highlights kāla (the right moment) in dharmic action: when a critical time arrives, one must think clearly and act decisively rather than be paralyzed by delay—especially in the kṣatriya context of battlefield duty.
Sañjaya reports that a warrior has reached Bhīma and, seeing that the crucial moment has come, begins to deliberate on the immediate course of action in the unfolding battle.
