Educational Q&A
The verse underscores the moral and practical reality of war: once violence escalates, order collapses into congestion and confusion, making right action (dharma) harder to discern and execute. It implicitly cautions that the machinery of conflict can overwhelm human control and intention.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the battlefield has become jammed with chariots and masses of horses; broken or entangled chariot parts—wheels, yokes, axles, and poles—have made movement extremely difficult.
