वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse foregrounds kṣatriya-dharma: in a righteous context, a warrior is expected to meet conflict with disciplined courage, treating battle as a duty governed by ethical norms rather than personal rage or gain.
The narrator Vaiśampāyana briefly describes a figure fighting in the battle-arena, emphasizing that the combat is undertaken in line with the prescribed warrior code.
