The verse underscores how unchecked violence and terror in war degrade dignity and order: fear overwhelms the body and mind, and even disciplined war-animals break restraint—suggesting the moral and social collapse that follows adharma.
During the Sauptika episode’s night-time slaughter, panic spreads through the camp: people lose bodily control from terror, and horses and elephants snap their tethers and run loose, intensifying the chaos.
