The line underscores how a leader’s fate and actions draw in followers as well—ethical responsibility extends beyond the principal actors to those who align themselves with them, and the resulting suffering can be immediate (“even today”).
Vaiśaṃpāyana, narrating to Janamejaya (“O Bhārata”), utters a grief-filled, incomplete-sounding exclamation that points to imminent harm or downfall for “these people” and “those who follow them,” reflecting a tense moment in the Udyoga Parva’s lead-up to conflict.
