Educational Q&A

The verse underscores how anger and wounded pride (amarṣa) can overpower discernment even in a disciplined warrior, illustrating the ethical pressure of war where inner restraint is as crucial as outer strength.

Sañjaya reports that after the horses and charioteer are killed, the mighty Śveta, seized by indignation, becomes agitated and leaps down from his chariot, ready to act under the impulse of wrath.
