Educational Q&A
Unchecked anger (krodha) propels one into rash action; the verse highlights how agitation and haste can drive conflict, contrasting impulsive aggression with the steadiness expected of dharmic leadership.
In the Virāṭa episode’s battle context, Suśarmā—furious and impatient—moves quickly to engage Yudhiṣṭhira, signaling an escalation toward direct confrontation.
