Educational Q&A
The verse underscores the moral logic of consequence in epic warfare: long-nurtured deceit and hostility culminate in inevitable retribution on the battlefield. It also reflects the Mahābhārata’s tension between dharma and violence—justice is pursued within the harsh framework of war, where outcomes are final and ethically weighty.
Sañjaya reports that Sahadeva, one of the Pāṇḍavas, shoots a brilliantly radiant, gold-adorned, well-aimed arrow that severs Śakuni’s head. Śakuni—identified as Subala’s son—falls dead to the ground in the midst of battle.
