Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse illustrates how intolerance and anger, once triggered, can quickly escalate into harmful action against weaker beings; it implicitly supports the dharmic ideal of restraint (dama) and compassion.

What is happening in the narrative?

Two calves come close to the camel’s shoulder/neck area; the camel cannot bear it, becomes enraged, stands up, lifts the two calves, and runs off swiftly.
