Educational Q&A
The verse primarily serves narrative ethics rather than direct instruction: it highlights how collective force and momentum in war can become overwhelming, reminding the listener that martial power—when it surges like a natural force—demands vigilance, restraint, and responsible leadership to prevent destruction from becoming indiscriminate.
Sañjaya reports that a large body of warriors followed closely behind a leading figure (identified by context in the surrounding verses), moving in a dense, streaming mass. The comparison to mountains emphasizes their imposing, unstoppable advance on the battlefield.
