The verse highlights how anger (krodha) can become the immediate driver of action in war, even when the action is executed with high discipline and technical mastery—suggesting that skill without inner restraint can intensify harm and ethical peril.
Sañjaya reports that Aśvatthāman (Droṇa’s son) becomes intensely enraged and begins a forceful assault, releasing expertly made arrows as the battle escalates.
