Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how martial excellence in war is concretely seen as the capacity to strike and pierce opponents; it implicitly raises the ethical weight of kingship and warfare—glory is inseparable from the harm it causes, and a ruler must bear responsibility for the outcomes of his side’s prowess.
Sanjaya reports to Dhritarashtra that on the battlefield he repeatedly saw every warrior he looked at already pierced by the arrows of Dhritarashtra’s son (Duryodhana), emphasizing Duryodhana’s effectiveness and the overwhelming spread of his missile-strikes in that phase of the fighting.
