The verse highlights how adharma-saturated violence shatters courage and judgment: when the mind loses steadiness, warriors abandon duty and even turn their frustration inward, revealing the ethical and psychological cost of war.
Sañjaya reports battlefield reactions: one group throws down weapons, while another, overwhelmed, beats their own arms—depicting panic, grief, and loss of resolve among the fighters.
