Educational Q&A

The verse highlights how overwhelming external forces—nature’s violence and hostile clamor—can obscure discernment. Ethically, it implies the need for steadiness and clarity of mind even amid confusion and fear.

Arjuna describes a scene of intense turmoil: heavy rain, fierce wind, and the thunderous roaring of the Daityas, creating such noise and disturbance that nothing can be clearly perceived.
