The verse highlights how anger (krodha) can seize even a heroic warrior and propel him into impulsive aggression; in the epics ethical frame, such passion-driven action often deepens conflict and suffering, even when performed under the banner of kshatriya duty.
Sanjaya describes King rut01yudha, enraged at Arjunas advance, charging at him while brandishing his large bow, signaling the start of a direct clash between the two.
