Educational Q&A
The verse cautions against darpa (arrogance): true worth is revealed by action and capability, and pride is inevitably humbled when confronted by superior discipline and skill.
Kāka addresses an opponent (implied ‘you’) and predicts that Arjuna will shatter that person’s pride with a storm of arrows, after which the opponent will recognize the real disparity between himself and Arjuna.
