Educational Q&A
The verse uses the image of even ‘obedient’ horses becoming restless to suggest that in extreme conditions like war, control and discipline are tested; true leadership is shown in maintaining restraint and guidance when forces surge beyond ordinary limits.
Sañjaya reports a battlefield observation: the best horses, usually responsive to the charioteer’s command, are prancing and straining forward—indicating heightened tension, urgency, or tumult around the chariot in the ongoing combat.
