Educational Q&A
Even when dharma is represented by a righteous leader like Yudhiṣṭhira, war subjects that center to relentless tactical pressure; the verse highlights how ethical steadiness must endure amid fear, injury, and aggressive escalation.
Sañjaya reports that the golden-charioted warrior first wounds Yudhāmanyu with sixty-four arrows and Sātyaki with thirty, then immediately rushes to attack King Yudhiṣṭhira, intensifying the threat to the Pāṇḍava command.
