Educational Q&A
The verse highlights a dharmic trial in warfare: brute force and terror (an elephant charge) are directed at the righteous leader, implying that steadfastness, protection of one’s troops, and composure under threat are essential aspects of kṣatriya-dharma even amid chaos.
Sañjaya reports that Bhagadatta advances in battle with his elephant, trampling the Pāṇḍava ranks, and then makes a direct assault on Yudhiṣṭhira, intensifying the danger around the Pāṇḍava command.
