Educational Q&A
Even in a vast war, moral and strategic collapse can begin with the loss of courage and cohesion: when troops are ‘turned away’ (vimukhīkṛtya), leadership becomes exposed, and violence shifts from regulated battle to an intent, personal assassination attempt—highlighting the ethical fragility of warfare.
Sañjaya reports that a rākṣasa warrior (contextually Ghaṭotkaca) has repulsed or scattered the Kaurava forces and then charges directly at Duryodhana, aiming to kill him.
