Educational Q&A
Even in war, actions that violate accepted standards of righteousness can bring lasting moral consequences: loss of good repute and inner remorse when judged before the virtuous.
Sañjaya, reporting events and their moral weight, expresses his belief that a particular deed by the Pāṇḍavas will later cause them regret and public censure among righteous people.
