Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse highlights how krodha (anger) can seize a warrior’s mind and drive action; even when expressed through skill and discipline (well-prepared arrows), anger tends to narrow ethical vision and intensify the destructiveness of war.

What is happening in the narrative?

Sañjaya reports that Duryodhana becomes enraged and responds by launching an attack with a volley of well-prepared arrows, signaling an escalation in the battle’s ferocity.
