The verse highlights how injury and humiliation can rapidly ignite wrath, making a person dangerous like a trampled serpent; ethically, it warns that unchecked anger in war multiplies harm and drives retaliatory violence.
Sañjaya describes a warrior who, though struck by a spear, becomes intensely furious, compared to a snake stepped on—signaling an imminent, fierce counterattack in the ongoing battle.
