Preferring giant maces is interesting. Is it just to emphasise how strong they were, I wonder? Or does it hint at a time when maces were the most common melee weapons in the region?

Sword fighters were not the primary heroes. So some thing is up there definitely. Most heroes used Astra(Arjuna,Bhishma,Karna,Drona etc) while other prominent ones used Gada (Bheem and Duryodhana).
Shankaracharya - proponent of advaita vedanta phylosophy. Considered our universe as illusion and unreal and brahman the only truth. 'jagat mythya brahma satyam' Matrix films got some inspiration from this philosophy. you can hear the mantras regarding it in the 3rd movie.
