Āditya (Sun)FAQs
Dharma warns against anger (krodha) as it eclipses discernment and inner radiance, leading one away from right judgment.
The narration depicts Vālī’s transformation under rage, setting the stage for his refusal to accept sound counsel.
By contrast, the verse highlights the need for self-control; Vālī’s lack of it becomes a moral signal.
