Educational Q&A
The verse underscores the overwhelming, dehumanizing intensity of war: even the senses fail amid the roar of weapons and the suffering of animals. It implicitly invites ethical reflection on the cost of kṣatriya conflict—valor and resolve are present, yet the battlefield becomes a place where clarity and ordinary perception collapse.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that elephants on both sides, wounded by continuous arrow-fire, are trumpeting loudly. At the same time, the warriors—fierce, steady, and powerful—are shooting so intensely that the combined noise of bowstrings and bow-hand impacts makes it impossible to distinguish anything clearly.
