Educational Q&A
The verse frames extreme battlefield violence as morally and cosmically weighty: even non-human participants (horses) appear to react with grief, suggesting that adharma and excessive destruction generate ominous signs and collective suffering beyond the warriors themselves.
Sañjaya reports to the king that as Droṇa’s weapons are set into fierce motion, the chariots thunder loudly and the horses shed tears—an evocative, ominous description heightening the dread and intensity of the battle scene.
