तस्मिन् शरे तिग्ममन्युं मुमोचासहामी श्वरः । भग्वज्धिरोमन्युभवं क्रोधाग्निमतिदुः:सहम्,महेश्वरने उस बाणमें अपने असहा एवं प्रचण्ड कोपको तथा भूगु और अंगिराके रोषसे उत्पन्न हुई अत्यन्त दुःसह क्रोधाग्निको भी स्थापित कर दिया
tasmin śare tigmamanyuṁ mumocāsahāmīśvaraḥ | bhṛgv-aṅgiro-manyubhavaṁ krodhāgnim atiduḥsaham ||
Duryodhana dit : «Dans cette flèche, le Seigneur puissant—d’une force insoutenable—déchaîna et déposa sa colère tranchante : un feu de courroux d’une intolérable violence, né de l’âpre indignation associée aux sages Bhṛgu et Aṅgiras.»

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how anger, when empowered and weaponized, becomes a consuming force—like a fire—capable of overwhelming restraint and discernment. Ethically, it warns that reliance on wrath (even when framed as divine power) intensifies destruction and clouds dharmic judgment in war.
Duryodhana describes a missile (arrow) into which Maheśvara (Śiva) has infused fierce, unbearable wrath—likened to an intolerable fire of anger—so that the weapon carries extraordinary destructive potency, associated with the seers Bhṛgu and Aṅgiras.
