The verse highlights how krodha (anger) intensifies violence and accelerates destruction in war. Even within kṣatriya-dharma, the epic repeatedly signals that wrath narrows judgment and multiplies suffering, making victory morally costly.
Sañjaya reports to the king that Karṇa, in a surge of rage, kills several named warriors—identified as mahārathas associated with the Cedi side—showing Karṇa’s lethal momentum on the battlefield at this stage of the war.
