evam uktas tu dharmātmā satyasaṃdho yudhiṣṭhiraḥ | naitad astīti sa krodho bhartsayāmāsa rākṣasam ||

അവൻ ഇങ്ങനെ പറഞ്ഞപ്പോൾ ധർമ്മാത്മാവും സത്യസങ്കൽപ്പനുമായ യുധിഷ്ഠിരൻ ക്രോധത്തോടെ ആ രാക്ഷസനെ ശാസിച്ച്—“അത് ഒരിക്കലും സംഭവിക്കില്ല” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു।

Educational Q&A

Even a truth-committed, dharma-centered person may show anger when confronting wrongdoing or an unacceptable claim; the ethical point is firmness in truth and refusal to assent to adharma.

After hearing the rākṣasa’s statement, Yudhiṣṭhira becomes angry and openly rebukes him, insisting that what the rākṣasa proposes or asserts is impossible and unacceptable.
