Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the harsh moral tension of dharma in war: when a single warrior (even an elder like Bhīṣma) stands as the decisive pillar of an opposing force, collective action against him becomes a strategic necessity, illustrating how duty and compassion collide on the battlefield.
Sañjaya describes the Pāṇḍava soldiers rushing together toward Bhīṣma alone and attacking him with multiple kinds of weapons—spears, swords, and various sharp arrows—showing the intensity of the attempt to bring down the Kaurava commander.
