Educational Q&A

Power and skill should be governed by dharma: Arjuna’s archery is shown as controlled and purposeful—used to contain and manage a threat rather than to indulge in uncontrolled violence.

As the Gandharvas rise into the air, Arjuna responds immediately by spreading a dense ‘net’ of arrows in all directions, effectively encircling them and preventing escape.
