Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the moral tragedy of a family’s fall from harmony into hostility: when kinship and shared joy are abandoned, adharma grows and war becomes thinkable. Remembering past concord functions as an ethical indictment of present choices.
Bhima is speaking and recalling an earlier period when both branches of the Kuru family lived happily together with their relatives, comparing that unity to the gods rejoicing under Indra’s leadership—implicitly contrasting it with the current rupture that is driving events toward war.
