Educational Q&A
The verse highlights that repeating an unethical act—especially against one’s guru—deepens adharma. It points to the moral danger of letting rage or rivalry override reverence, restraint, and right conduct.
Sañjaya reports that after performing a deed judged improper, the agent once again throws (or attacks with what is thrown) toward the guru, emphasizing escalation and the breakdown of customary respect amid the violence of war.
