Educational Q&A
The verse highlights that anger becomes ethically meaningful when harnessed in service of dharma—defending the wronged and restoring justice—especially when guided by wise or divine counsel (here, Vāsudeva).
Sañjaya describes Bhīma, prompted by Kṛṣṇa, surging forward in battle with overwhelming fury against the adversary connected to Pāñcālī (Draupadī), his power likened to Death itself.
