Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse hints that terrifying power without inner balance is unstable: adharma and excess manifest as agitation and affliction, so outward menace can conceal inner suffering and decline.

What is happening in the narrative?

A great asura, stricken with intense fever, emits an inhuman roar and repeatedly yawns, while Bhishma narrates the episode to the king (addressed as rājendra).
