Educational Q&A
Even amid fury, righteous warfare emphasizes restraint of destructive forces and protection of one’s side; a kṣatriya’s dharma includes standing against a cruel or destabilizing opponent to safeguard the larger order.
Sañjaya reports that Kuntibhoja arrives with a large army and, angered, confronts and halts Alambuṣa, the rākṣasa-king fighting for the Kauravas, thereby defending the Pandava formation.
