FAQs

It highlights how anger (krodha) drives adharmic intent—seeking destruction for ego and rage rather than justice.

From concealment, Indrajit claims the brothers are overwhelmed by his arrows and threatens to kill them.

Negative exemplar: lack of self-control; dharma requires mastery over anger, especially in war.
