Livelihood, Virtuous Association, and Ethics of Giving
ततस्तस्य सुरेशस्य क्रोधादमिततेजस:
tatastasyasureśasya krodhādamitatejasaḥ
Daraufhin, vom Zorn gereizt, reagierte jener Herr der Götter—von unermesslichem Glanz—entsprechend. Diese Zeile kündet eine entscheidende Wendung an: Die göttliche Autorität, durch Grimm aufgewühlt, beginnt die moralische Folge des Geschehens zu gestalten.
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.
