Educational Q&A

Even in a righteous or strategic struggle, outcomes hinge not only on weapons but on steadiness of mind: fear spreads quickly through an army when its perceived pillars are threatened, while true strength is shown by those who remain composed under attack.

Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the Kaurava forces erupted in loud alarm upon seeing Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna in the great battle apparently overwhelmed—covered with arrows—indicating a sudden shock to their morale.
