The verse highlights the ethical gravity of kṣatriya warfare: skill and resolve, when directed by one’s duty, can become an irresistible force. It also cautions that in battle, even the mighty are subject to the consequences of superior prowess and momentum.
Sañjaya describes a warrior being relentlessly struck by Arjuna’s dense volleys of arrows, so that his body appears covered with shafts, compared to a porcupine bristling with spines.
