三阇耶说道：他们停止了战斗，松解铠甲；却并未弃置兵刃，俱卢与般度诸人仍聚在一处。此颂昭示暴烈暂歇：纵在仇怨之间，纪律与克制仍被遵守；战士手执武器，却从即刻的屠戮中退开——在战争的混沌里，秩序与礼法重新显现的一段间隙。

Educational Q&A
Even in a righteous war governed by kṣatriya norms, there can be moments of restraint and regulated conduct. The verse highlights controlled cessation—loosening armor yet keeping weapons—suggesting vigilance without immediate aggression, and the reappearance of order and propriety within conflict.
Sañjaya reports that the fighting has paused. Both sides—the Kurus and the Pāṇḍavas—stop battling, loosen their armor, and remain together without throwing away their weapons, indicating a temporary lull rather than a full disarmament.
