Educational Q&A

Even amid the chaos of war, decisive action grounded in duty can neutralize intimidation and spectacle; true strength is shown by clarity and precision rather than being swayed by grand proclamations.

Sañjaya narrates that Arjuna, reacting to a lofty or ‘divine’ proclamation, shoots an arrow that cuts down a cloth-banner/flag; as soon as it is severed, the opposing figure is described as having obstructed vision—symbolizing sudden disorientation and loss of advantage.
