The verse uses a divine comparison to highlight decisive, disciplined action in a righteous cause: when dharma is threatened, a warrior’s promptness and resolve should be as swift and unwavering as Indra’s mythic charge against forces of adharma.
Sañjaya describes Yuyudhāna (Sātyaki) being driven forward at extraordinary speed in the battle, comparing his rapid advance to Indra being carried by his horses when he went forth to slay the Daityas.
