Educational Q&A
Endurance in battle can resemble heroism, but the Mahābhārata repeatedly asks whether one’s resolve serves dharma or merely pride. Here, persistence despite wounds underscores determination, yet the broader narrative frames such tenacity as ethically ambiguous when aligned with adharma.
Vaiśampāyana reports that Duryodhana, Karṇa, and Śakuni—though badly injured—continue fighting the Gandharvas in the ongoing battle episode of the Vana Parva.
