द्रौपदी–सत्यभामा संवादः
Draupadī and Satyabhāmā on ethical household conduct
यः प्रशान्तेषु भूतेषु मन्युर्भवति दारुण: । अग्नि: स मन्युमान्नाम द्वितीयो भानुत: सुत:,जो शान्त प्राणियोंमें भयंकर “क्रोध” बनकर प्रकट होते हैं, वे 'मन्युमान्” नामक अग्नि भानुके द्वितीय पुत्र हैं
yaḥ praśānteṣu bhūteṣu manyur bhavati dāruṇaḥ | agniḥ sa manyumān nāma dvitīyo bhānutaḥ sutaḥ ||
Markandeya said: “That fierce wrath which arises even among beings who are otherwise calm—know that to be a form of Fire. He is called Manyumān, the second son of Bhānu.” The verse frames anger as a destructive, quasi-cosmic force that can erupt even in peaceful hearts, warning that such passion should be recognized and restrained rather than indulged.

Educational Q&A
Anger (manyu) is portrayed as a fierce, fire-like power that can manifest even in otherwise peaceful beings; recognizing its destructive nature is an ethical prompt toward restraint and inner discipline.
Markandeya identifies a specific cosmic personification: the dreadful wrath that appears among calm creatures is said to be a form of Agni named Manyumān, described as the second son of Bhānu.
