Educational Q&A

The verse highlights steadfast execution of one’s duty in a just cause: Arjuna’s decisive action is marked by the unmistakable ‘voice’ of his bow, suggesting disciplined valor and moral resolve rather than mere violence.

Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the roar of Arjuna’s Gāṇḍīva is heard from the army’s right flank, indicating that Arjuna is actively cutting down enemy forces there and shifting the battle’s balance.
