Educational Q&A
Even amid the violence and confusion of war, dharma is expressed through steadfast loyalty and responsibility—here, the bond of brothers and the resolve to support one another in a righteous cause.
Sañjaya reports that Bhīma mounts Sātyaki’s chariot and goes across the battlefield to reach Arjuna (Savyasācin), indicating a tactical and emotional convergence of key Pāṇḍava allies during intense fighting.
