Educational Q&A
Even within the harsh arena of war, steadfast courage and disciplined action are portrayed as necessary qualities of kṣatriya-dharma; victory is framed as overcoming those who intend harm, not as mere aggression.
Sañjaya continues his battlefield report, stating that the Pāṇḍavas, like the opposing side previously described, fought heroically and emerged as victors over their assailants in the ongoing conflict.
