Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma frames anger as a moral-psychological problem with a knowable lifecycle—origin, support, and dissolution—implying that ethical mastery begins by understanding how anger arises and what sustains it.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction to the king, Bhīṣma transitions into a systematic explanation of inner faults, announcing that he will begin by describing the genesis of anger (krodha).
