Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the uncompromising momentum of war and the exercise of kṣatriya prowess: skill answers skill, and even revered allies are not spared in combat. Ethically, it points to the grim reality that once dharma-yuddha becomes total war, restraint is strained and suffering escalates, demanding discernment about duty, limits, and consequence.
Sañjaya reports that Droṇa first cuts down the opponent’s arrows with his own volleys, then strikes both Kṛṣṇa and the Pāṇḍava (Arjuna) with fierce arrows described as seeming to blaze with poison and fire.
