The verse highlights warrior-resolve aligned with kṣatriya-dharma: in a righteous battle one must act decisively, abandoning paralyzing attachment to personal survival (jīvitamoha) and focusing on the duty at hand.
Bhīma quickly takes up a second bow, strings it, and immediately unleashes a heavy volley of arrows that blankets Śakuni’s forces, as Sañjaya reports the battlefield action to the king.
