FAQs

What is the core ethical principle (Dharma) in this verse?

Unchecked anger (krodha) is a gateway to adharma: defeat tests character, and the turn to terrible rage signals moral decline rather than self-mastery.

What is the narrative situation?

After being bested by Aṅgada, Indrajit reacts not with restraint but with escalating fury, foreshadowing harsher tactics.

Which character virtue is emphasized?

By contrast, Aṅgada’s steadfast valor stands against Indrajit’s loss of composure; self-control is implied as the higher virtue.
