Educational Q&A
Even in a martial setting, dharma includes restraint and giving the opponent a chance to withdraw. Arjuna frames ‘śreyas’ (true welfare) for the misguided as choosing life over persisting in adharma-driven aggression.
In Vaiśampāyana’s narration, Arjuna (called Jiṣṇu) addresses opposing men and, with a controlled, almost smiling demeanor, warns them to turn back—implying that if they persist in unrighteous action, they will face destruction, whereas retreat preserves their welfare.
