Educational Q&A
In the immediacy of battle, dharma expresses itself as steadiness, discipline, and effective action under pressure—responding to danger without panic and restoring order through clear commands.
Sañjaya reports that a sudden alarm spreads among the Pāṇḍavas; warriors rush about issuing urgent orders to seize and restrain the horses, indicating a moment of disruption and rapid battlefield response.
