Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how martial strength and readiness can be driven by allegiance and agitation; ethically, it points to the danger of being ‘rushed into’ violence for a partisan cause rather than guided by discernment and dharma.
Sañjaya describes the Kaurava side: warriors, armed and battle-hardened, have become inflamed and mobilized, acting in support of Suyodhana (Duryodhana) as the conflict intensifies.
