Chapter 220
संहर्षाद् धारयन् क्रोधं धनन््वी सख्रग्वी रथे स्थित: । समरे नाशयेच्छत्रूनमोघो नाम पावक:
saṁharṣād dhārayan krodhaṁ dhanvī sakhragvī rathe sthitaḥ | samare nāśayec chatrūn amogho nāma pāvakaḥ ||
Dijo Mārkaṇḍeya: «Excitado por el júbilo, el arquero—enguirnaldado y en pie sobre su carro—contuvo su ira. En medio del combate, el fuego llamado “Amogha” destruiría a los enemigos sin fallar».

Even amid the exhilaration of combat, the warrior ideal includes mastery over anger; righteous force is portrayed as effective not through blind rage but through controlled power, here symbolized by the unfailing fire ‘Amogha’ that destroys enemies.
Mārkaṇḍeya describes a bow-bearing warrior on a chariot, garlanded and battle-ready, who restrains his wrath; simultaneously, an unfailing fiery power named Amogha is said to annihilate foes in the battle.
