The verse highlights how moha (delusion) corrupts judgment and drives rulers into unjust opposition, leading to destruction. It also reflects the stern ethic of kṣatriya warfare: once battle is chosen, consequences are uncompromising.
Arjuna declares his resolve that any kings who, out of deluded counsel or mistaken judgment, take the opposing side and fight him will be slain by his arrows—figuratively ‘sent to Yama’s abode,’ i.e., killed in battle.
