काक उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical weight of seasoned elders’ counsel in war: when authoritative warriors like Droṇa and Bhīṣma repeatedly warn that certain opponents are ‘avadhya’ (effectively unassailable), wise rulers should restrain pride and avoid actions that ignore proven judgment and lead to needless ruin.
A speaker (identified here as ‘Kāka’) reminds the listener that, in the assembly of kings, Droṇa and Bhīṣma had often stated that Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna cannot be overcome. The remark functions as a pointed reminder of what the leadership already knows about the formidable power and protection surrounding that pair.
