Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse highlights the kṣatriya ideal that righteous victory brings both worldly success and enduring renown; public signals—bow-twang, conch-blast, and lion-roar—serve as disciplined expressions of courage and collective resolve rather than mere noise.

What is happening in the narrative?

Sañjaya reports that the Pāṇḍavas, celebrating a decisive advantage, loudly proclaim their triumph by readying arrows on bows, twanging bowstrings, blowing conches, and roaring; the narration then turns to the actions of Bhīma and Dhṛṣṭadyumna.
