Educational Q&A
Even amid justified anger in war, dharma demands restraint: a messenger/narrator like Sañjaya is not to be killed. Vyāsa’s intervention elevates moral law above retaliation and emphasizes protection of those not engaged as combatants.
Sañjaya has come into a tense wartime situation where he could be harmed. At that moment Vyāsa arrives and explicitly commands that Sañjaya be released alive, declaring him not fit to be slain in any manner.
