दुर्वार्णं दुर्दुशं तिग्ममन्युं महात्मानं सर्वहरं प्रचेतसम् । दिव्यं चापमिषुधी चाददानं हिरण्यवर्माणमनन्तवीर्यम्,उन्हें कहीं कोई रोक नहीं सकता, उनका दर्शन बड़ी कठिनाईसे होता है, वे दुष्टोंपर प्रचण्ड कोप करनेवाले हैं, उनका हृदय विशाल है, वे सारे क्लेशोंको हर लेनेवाले अथवा सर्वसंहारी हैं, साधु पुरुषोंके प्रति उनका हृदय अत्यन्त उदार है, वे दिव्य धनुष और दो तरकश धारण करते हैं, उनका कवच सोनेका बना हुआ है तथा वे अनन्त बल-पराक्रमसे सम्पन्न हैं

Vyāsa said: “He is irresistible and hard to behold; his wrath against the wicked is razor-sharp. Great-souled and keen-minded, he is one who removes all afflictions—or, when the time demands, one who brings total destruction. He bears a divine bow and a pair of quivers; his armor is of gold, and his valor and might are without end.”

The verse presents a dharmic paradox of power: the truly great can be both a remover of suffering and, when righteousness requires, an agent of total destruction. Fierce wrath is framed as directed against the wicked, while greatness of soul and discernment guide the use of overwhelming force.
Vyāsa describes a formidable warrior figure whose presence is overwhelming and difficult to face. The description emphasizes his unstoppable nature, fierce anger toward wrongdoers, and his divine martial equipment—bow, two quivers, and golden armor—highlighting his boundless prowess in the war setting.
