Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical weight of kṣatriya responsibility: rulers do not fight alone but draw sons and ministers into the consequences of political decisions, showing how dharma and loyalty become entangled with violence in wartime.
Sañjaya reports simultaneous engagements: Yudhiṣṭhira, supported by his sons and ministers, fights Śalya, while Bhīma faces Jayadratha along with the kings of Avanti and Kāśī.
