The verse frames battlefield violence within a dharmic and cosmic register: Arjuna’s force is likened to end-of-age destruction, emphasizing the overwhelming, impersonal power unleashed when warriors fulfill their kṣatriya role in a war understood as fated and consequential. The ethical tension is implicit—such power is terrifying, yet presented as operating within the narrative’s sense of duty and inevitability.
Sañjaya describes Arjuna’s onslaught: Arjuna’s weapons blaze like a doomsday fire, and he begins burning through the Kaurava ranks. He then showers the battlefield with massive volleys of arrows, striking warriors mounted on elephants, horses, and chariots.
