The verse underscores how war amplifies aggression into repeated harm; it invites ethical reflection on how martial duty can slide into relentless violence when driven by rage and group frenzy.
Sañjaya reports that a group of warriors, shouting war-cries, repeatedly strike and wound a particular opponent, emphasizing the intensity and persistence of the assault.
