Educational Q&A
The verse highlights a wartime leadership moment: Duryodhana consolidates support by gathering his brothers and allied heroes. Ethically, it frames how collective resolve and persuasion can be used in service of a cause—here, the Kaurava war effort—inviting reflection on whether strategic unity is aligned with dharma or merely effective.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Duryodhana goes to Duḥśāsana, all his brothers, and many other warriors who have assembled for battle, setting the stage for Duryodhana’s subsequent exhortation to them.
