Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical tension in war: valor is expected of a kṣatriya, yet fear and self-preservation can overtake even the powerful. It implicitly contrasts dharmic steadiness with the instability that follows from pride and unrighteous ambition.
Sanjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Duryodhana, overwhelmed by Śaineya (Satyaki) and pierced by his excellent arrows, suddenly ran from the battlefield.
