Educational Q&A
Even in war, dharma sets limits: attacking a non-combatant or a renunciant near death is condemned as unrighteous, undermining the moral legitimacy of victory.
Dhṛṣṭadyumna articulates a battlefield ethical judgment, criticizing (or warning against) the act of harming someone who is not fighting and, by extension, a sage who has withdrawn from worldly struggle and is approaching death.
