Educational Q&A
The verse highlights disciplined kshatriya conduct: forces are first properly arrayed, then action is taken under legitimate command (Yudhishthira’s dispatch). Valor is framed as duty executed within order and responsibility, not as uncontrolled violence.
After positioning their battle-divisions, twelve elite Pandava chariot-warriors led by Abhimanyu—moving in Bhima’s wake and sent by Yudhishthira—launch a coordinated charge against Dhritarashtra’s powerful sons (the Kaurava princes).
