Educational Q&A
The verse highlights disciplined power: anger and force are kept restrained through hardship and time, then released only when the proper moment for dharma arrives. It presents righteous action as governed by self-control and context, not mere impulse.
Vaiśampāyana describes Arjuna (Pārtha), who had endured the thirteen-year period of exile and concealment under constraint. Now, at the opportune time, he reveals his terrifying, Rudra-like martial aspect and turns his wrath against the Dhārtarāṣṭras (the Kauravas), moving about in battle.
