FAQs

Uncontrolled anger (krodha) destroys discernment and leads to ruin; dharma requires mastery over impulses, especially in confrontation.

Tāṭakā, enraged, initiates the attack by charging at Rāma.

By contrast to Tāṭakā’s rage, Rāma’s steadiness is implied—he remains composed even as aggression erupts.
