Educational Q&A
Even in war’s chaos, dharmic leadership requires clear perception: Yudhiṣṭhira first observes the enemy’s formation—described as ‘superhuman’—before acting, highlighting discernment and responsibility amid violence.
Sañjaya narrates that Yudhiṣṭhira looks upon an extraordinary battle-array during a confused melee. The line also functions as a chapter colophon, marking the end of the twentieth chapter in Droṇa Parvan, within the Saṃśaptaka-slaying section.
