The verse highlights how uncontrolled anger externalizes as destructive power; in an ethical frame, it warns that wrath in war can become a consuming force, producing fear and portents rather than clear judgment.
Sañjaya reports to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra that a warrior, seized by rage, appeared so charged with fiery energy that sparks seemed to burst from his body—described as an adbhuta, a wondrous/uncanny sign amid the battle events.
