Livelihood, Virtuous Association, and Ethics of Giving
ततस्तस्य सुरेशस्य क्रोधादमिततेजस:
tatastasyasureśasya krodhādamitatejasaḥ
ثم إن ربَّ الآلهة—ذو البهاء الذي لا يُحدّ—استثارته الغضبة فكان منه ما يليق بمقامه. وهذه الجملة تُعلن منعطفًا حاسمًا، إذ إن السلطان الإلهي حين تحرّكه السَّخطة يبدأ بصوغ العاقبة الأخلاقية لهذا الحدث.
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse foregrounds krodha (anger) as a powerful catalyst even in exalted beings; when authority is driven by wrath, it can rapidly determine outcomes, underscoring the ethical need to restrain anger and act from dharma rather than impulse.
Bhishma indicates a turning point: the lord of the gods (Indra), described as possessing boundless splendor, becomes angry, and the next events are implied to proceed from that divine wrath.
