Educational Q&A
Even when warriors fulfill their kṣatriya-duty with great valor, the fruit of battle is often death; the verse highlights impermanence and the inescapable moral gravity of war, where fame and rank do not exempt one from Yama’s realm.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Virāṭa’s sons—Śaṅkha and the great warrior Uttara—fought fiercely, performed notable martial deeds, and were slain, thus ‘going to Vaivasvata’s abode’ (the realm of Yama).
