Educational Q&A

The verse highlights how brooding over perceived deception can intensify anger and drive even a righteous warrior into escalating conflict, suggesting an ethical caution: memory of injury, if unchecked, can override restraint and lead to confrontation even with higher powers.

Vaiśaṃpāyana narrates that Arjuna, furious as he recalls a deception, releases a rapid barrage of arrows that seems to blanket the sky and begins fighting Indra.
