Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The line highlights how anger (krodha) and victory-hunger (jaya-eṣaṇā) can dominate the mind in war, narrowing moral vision and turning action into relentless pursuit rather than disciplined duty.

What is happening in the narrative?

Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the opposing warriors, furious and determined to win, are actively searching for Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s son on the battlefield, implying a focused hunt amid the chaos of combat.
