Educational Q&A

The verse highlights how anger and extraordinary power can be used to intimidate opponents in war, prompting reflection on the ethical boundary between legitimate strategy and the deliberate cultivation of terror that intensifies violence and suffering.

Ghaṭotkaca, the powerful son of Bhīma, becomes enraged and manifests multiple forms to frighten the leading warriors on the battlefield, as Sañjaya reports the events to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra.
