Making Rama's missile void, Ravana manifested another missile presided over by demon and released.
The verse warns that anger (krodha) clouds discernment; dharma requires clarity and restraint, especially in conflict, while rage pushes one toward destructive and adharma-aligned choices.
In the Rāma–Rāvaṇa duel, Rāvaṇa neutralizes Rāma’s weapon and immediately deploys a more terrifying, demonic missile.
By contrastive framing, the text highlights the need for self-mastery; Rāvaṇa exemplifies the vice of anger-driven action rather than a virtue.
