tato 'nyad dhanur ādāya rāmaḥ krodha-samanvitaḥ | hema-puṅkhān su-niśitān śarāṁs tān hi vavarṣa saḥ ||
Then Rāma (Paraśurāma), filled with anger, took up another bow and began to shower those arrows—keenly sharpened and adorned with golden fletching.
राम उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how krodha (anger) rapidly intensifies violence: skill and strength, when driven by wrath, tend to multiply harm and push a dispute toward uncontrolled escalation rather than dharmic restraint.
Paraśurāma, enraged, switches to another bow and unleashes a volley of extremely sharp arrows with golden fletching, signaling a heightened phase of the confrontation.
