Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how anger (krodha) can drive immediate, aggressive action in war; ethically, it points to the danger of letting passion rather than discernment govern one’s conduct, even within a kṣatriya context.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Duḥśāsana, seeing the army’s situation, becomes intensely enraged and moves forward to confront Arjuna in battle.
