Educational Q&A
Even within the setting of battle, conduct can be moderated by dharma: restraint, self-control, and respect—especially in the presence of brāhmaṇas—can temper aggression and prevent needless cruelty.
Duryodhana and his companions, together with brāhmaṇas, enter into a form of reciprocal combat on the battlefield, but they do so mildly and without intense effort, suggesting a controlled or non-lethal style of fighting in that moment.
