Vajradatta Confronts Dhanaṃjaya at Prāgjyotiṣa

tad anādṛtya te sarve śarair abhyahanams tadā | tamorajo-bhyāṁ saṁchannāṁs tān kirīṭī nyavārayat ||

Educational Q&A
Even in a battlefield setting, dharma can express itself as restraint: when opponents act under tamas and rajas—delusion and agitation—the higher response is to check needless escalation and attempt to prevent further wrongdoing rather than be driven by reactive anger.
