FAQs
The verse shows how unchecked anger (krodha) overtakes discernment; Dharma requires self-mastery, especially in crisis, rather than being ruled by rage.
In the midst of the war narrative, Rāvaṇa pauses, broods, and then resolves into a terrifying, wrathful state—signaling escalation.
By contrast (implicitly), the virtue emphasized is restraint and reflective judgment; Rāvaṇa’s loss of composure highlights its absence.
