Educational Q&A
The verse underscores the relentless, impersonal machinery of war when warriors act under kṣatriya-dharma: skill and resolve can manifest as overwhelming force, reminding the listener that duty in battle carries grave ethical weight even when performed with discipline.
Sañjaya describes Bhīṣma unleashing dense volleys of arrows from his bow, creating a ‘net’ of missiles—an image of battlefield dominance and the intensification of combat.
