Educational Q&A
Power, status, and martial glory are fragile; Time overturns all conditions. The verse invites ethical sobriety in the aftermath of slaughter, warning against pride and reminding that death levels even those who once led kings.
Kṛpa points to fallen warriors—once honored leaders among crowned kings—now dead on the battlefield, lying in dust. He uses this sight to emphasize the grim reversal brought by Kāla (Time/Fate) in the wake of the night’s violence.
