Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the destructive momentum of krodha (anger): it can make one blaze with power like fire, but it also warns—by implication—that such heat can consume discernment and restraint, which are central to dharmic conduct even in war.
Sañjaya describes a warrior’s sudden surge of fury on the battlefield, comparing him to fire that flares up as if determined to burn an opponent. The image conveys an imminent, forceful attack driven by wrath.
