Educational Q&A
Even in a terse battle-line, the implied ethic is kṣatriya-dharma: steadfastness and disciplined execution of one’s role. The emphasis on a second, sharp, well-aimed weapon highlights persistence and precision rather than impulsive violence.
Sañjaya continues the battlefield report: after a prior strike, the warrior follows up immediately with another bhalla-arrow, described as yellow and keen, indicating a renewed, forceful attack in the ongoing combat.
