Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how war pressures warriors into increasingly harsh measures: when one’s own supports (chariot, horses, charioteer) are destroyed, survival and victory often drive a turn to brute force aimed at disabling the opponent’s capacity to fight. It implicitly raises the ethical tension between kṣatriya duty in battle and the dehumanizing escalation that battle produces.
Dhrishtadyumna has become chariotless because his horses and charioteer have been killed. He picks up a fearsome parigha (heavy iron club) and uses it to crush Karna’s horses, thereby crippling Karna’s chariot-mobility in the ongoing combat.
