As we enter Anuvaka 7, the theme of Bhagavan as the warrior and protector of all warriors is presented. The battlefield is a metaphor of life itself. This Anuvaka teaches us to see every struggle as non-seperate from Rudra. Everything is 'iswarized'. Rudra is seen as the karma phala-data (giver of karma) and the one who paves a way out of these struggles. Rudra is the protector and moreover, Rudra is courage and discrimination needed to navigate life.
