The verse highlights the kṣatriya ideal of steadfast courage: even when visibly wounded, a righteous warrior does not lose composure, and endurance itself becomes a kind of splendor—strength directed toward one’s duty in the midst of conflict.
Sañjaya describes Arjuna in the thick of battle, with arrows stuck in his forehead, yet still radiant and formidable. He uses a simile: Arjuna’s appearance is compared to Mount Meru adorned with towering peaks.
