Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how anger (krodha) intensifies violence in war: wrath seeks immediate, crushing results, but it also fuels cycles of retaliation and deepens collective suffering—an ethical warning embedded within the battle narrative.
Sanjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the warrior Jalasaṃdha, enraged, shoots powerful arrows and lands a heavy hit on Sātyaki (Śini’s grandson), striking him in the chest during the fighting in Droṇa Parva.
