Educational Q&A
In battlefield ethics, a warrior’s immediate duty is responsiveness to the present danger: personal targets may be set aside to counter the enemy who is directly advancing, using appropriate force to protect one’s side.
Sañjaya reports that Ghaṭotkaca stops focusing on Karṇa and instead turns his arrows on an enemy who is coming toward him, beginning a direct missile assault to check that advance.
