"There, the guardians of the earth swiftly entered the camps, rich in supplies, in their thousands, each according to his zeal and his strength. King Duryodhana directed that excellent food and provisions be given to those great-souled kings with their armies and attendants; likewise for those with elephants, horses and men, for the artisans, and the other followers there -- the charioteer-bards, magadhas and panegyrists, the merchants, courtesans, entertainers, and all the onlooking crowds. The king of the Kauravas looked after all of them according to proper order."

This chapter shows the material side of war: not only heroes and vows, but the vast organization of camps, rites, provisions and retinue. The Kaurava army moves like an entire city on the march: kings, peoples, artisans, singers, merchants and onlookers all enter the space of war. Duryodhana attends to order and provisioning, yet this very abundance of outward show underscores the scale of the catastrophe now approaching. Before the battle, dharma is already being tested -- not only on the field, but in how a ruler governs people, resources and allies.
