Educational Q&A
Even the greatest warrior can be overwhelmed when many adversaries converge; dharmic leadership recognizes distress in one’s ally and seeks timely counsel and support rather than pridefully ignoring danger.
Yudhiṣṭhira addresses Kṛṣṇa (Vāṣṇeya), pointing out that Arjuna is being severely pressed in the battle by numerous opponents, implying urgency and the need for strategic or protective intervention.
