Educational Q&A
Fear and panic lead to collapse of order; a leader’s duty is to restore courage and clarity so that dharma—here, the disciplined performance of one’s role in a justly undertaken battle—can be upheld.
During the Drona Parva fighting, the Pāṇḍava forces begin to flee. Kṛṣṇa (Keśava) and Arjuna address them directly, forbidding retreat in terror and urging them to abandon fear and stand firm.
