Educational Q&A

The verse highlights the dharmic strain inherent in righteous war: even venerable figures like one’s teacher (Droṇa) and respected elders (Kṛpa) may be opposed when one is bound to kṣatriya-duty and the chosen side in a just cause; the battlefield compels action despite personal reverence.

Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Arjuna, in the thick of combat, overwhelms and wounds with arrows prominent Kaurava-side warriors—Droṇa, Kṛpa, Vikarṇa—and many other heroic kings, indicating Arjuna’s dominance in that phase of the battle.
