Educational Q&A
Even amid the harshness of war, collective morale strongly shapes action: renewed confidence and unity among allies can restore resolve to pursue what they believe to be their dharmic cause.
Sañjaya reports that on the battlefield the Pāṇḍava side experiences renewed exhilaration—particularly the Pāñcāla, Somaka, and Matsya contingents—indicating a turning of spirit and momentum in their ranks.
