Educational Q&A
In a war setting, dharma often appears as prompt, disciplined action: setting aside attachment to one’s own equipment or position and choosing what best sustains one’s responsibility and effectiveness in the moment.
Sañjaya reports that Dhṛṣṭaketu leaves his previous chariot and climbs onto Śatānīka’s conveyance, indicating a rapid change of vehicle/position during the ongoing battle.
