Educational Q&A

The verse highlights coordinated martial responsibility: key Pāṇḍava champions act together to restrain the enemy’s advance. Ethically, it reflects kṣatriya-dharma—protecting one’s side through disciplined resistance—while also showing how anger (saṅkruddha) is present yet directed toward a collective duty in war.

Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that a group of Pāṇḍava heroes—Bhīma, Dhṛṣṭadyumna, the Draupadī’s sons, Abhimanyu, and the Mādrī-born Pāṇḍava(s)—blocked and engaged the opposing warriors, striking with various weapons and missiles in the thick of battle.
