Educational Q&A
Even in war, responsibility is expressed through order: appointing a capable commander and arranging troops systematically reflects disciplined leadership and the kṣatriya emphasis on organized duty rather than impulsive violence.
Sañjaya reports that the warriors appoint Śalya, the king of Madra, as commander-in-chief and then divide and station the whole army into multiple battle-divisions, preparing for coordinated combat.
