Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the fragility of collective morale in war: overwhelming violence can cause even a righteous or well-led force to lose cohesion. Ethically, it underscores that battlefield outcomes often hinge not only on valor but on endurance, discipline, and the ability to withstand fear.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that a warrior (implied from context) releases fierce, massed volleys of arrows. Under that intense barrage, the Pāṇḍava troops are distressed and begin to flee.
