Educational Q&A
The verse highlights disciplined preparation and orderly conduct in a martial setting: power and splendour (golden armour, bright chariots) are shown as effective only when joined with methodical readiness and coordinated action.
As events move toward conflict, the great warriors are making their chariots battle-ready by harnessing horses equipped with golden armour, indicating imminent mobilization and the formal commencement of warlike preparations.
