Educational Q&A
The verse underscores steadiness and the performance of one’s martial role: even after being shaken, a warrior regains composure, takes up his weapon again, and fulfills his duty on the battlefield.
Sañjaya reports that Kṛtavarmā, identified as Hārdikya, becomes reassured, takes another large bow in hand, and stands his ground, actively resisting the Pāṇḍavas in the ongoing combat.
