What is the core teaching?

Even amid righteous warfare, a kṣatriya’s duty includes safeguarding comrades; courage is shown not only in striking the enemy but also in timely protection and removal of an ally from peril.

During the battle, Sahadeva (called the son of Mādrī) becomes enraged and removes Dhṛṣṭaketu from the fighting by placing him on his chariot and taking him away from the battlefield.
