Educational Q&A

The verse primarily serves a narrative function: it records names of notable warriors, underscoring the epic theme that great power and fame are still subject to the larger moral and historical currents of the war. It implicitly reminds the listener that individual prowess is woven into a collective destiny shaped by dharma and adharma.

Vaiśampāyana continues a catalogue-style description, listing additional mighty figures present/participating in the events of the Śalya Parva context, naming Yajñavāha, Suvāha, Devayājī, Somapa, Majjānaśn, and the pair Kratha and Krātha.
