The Pāṇḍavas’ Journey toward Pāñcāla and News of the Svayaṃvara
आदित्य इव मध्यद्े क्रोधदीप्तवपुर्बभौ | अज्भारवर्ष मुज्चन्ती मुहुर्वालधितो महत्,क्रोधके कारण उसके शरीरसे अपूर्व दीप्ति प्रकट हो रही थी। वह दोपहरके सूर्यकी भाँति उद्धासित हो उठी। उसने अपनी पूँछसे बारंबार अंगारकी भारी वर्षा करते हुए पूँछसे स पह्नवोंकी सृष्टि की, थनोंसे द्रविडों और शकोंको उत्पन्न किया, योनिदेशसे यवनों और गोबरसे बहुतेरे शबरोंको जन्म दिया
āditya iva madhyāhne krodha-dīpta-vapur babhau | aṅgāra-varṣaṃ muñcantī muhur vāladhi-to mahat ||
The Gandharva said: “Blazing with wrath, she shone with an unprecedented radiance, like the sun at midday. Again and again, striking with her great tail, she rained down a heavy shower of burning embers.”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how uncontrolled anger manifests as destructive, scorching energy. Ethically, it functions as a warning: wrath can transform a being’s presence into a force that harms others, so restraint and discernment are implied virtues.
A being (described by the Gandharva) becomes intensely enraged and radiates like the noon sun, repeatedly lashing with a great tail and casting down showers of embers—an ominous, supernatural display of power and threat.
