Educational Q&A

The verse highlights the battlefield psychology where courage and trained technique are intensified by anger; ethically, it points to the tension between necessary kṣatriya-duty in war and the danger of wrath overwhelming restraint and discernment.

Sañjaya describes warriors surging into close combat, showing feints and tactical moves while wielding swords, shields, and axes, and striking at vulnerable points such as the left flank as they crash upon their enemies.
