वृत्ति-सत्सङ्ग-दान-धर्म
Livelihood, Virtuous Association, and Ethics of Giving
ततस्तस्य सुरेशस्य क्रोधादमिततेजस:
tatastasyasureśasya krodhādamitatejasaḥ
Kemudian, kerana amarah, Tuhan para dewa—yang sinarnya tiada terukur—bertindak sebagaimana sewajarnya. Baris ini menandakan satu titik perubahan, apabila kewibawaan ilahi yang digerakkan oleh murka mula membentuk akibat moral peristiwa itu.
भीष्म उवाच
The verse foregrounds krodha (anger) as a powerful catalyst even in exalted beings; when authority is driven by wrath, it can rapidly determine outcomes, underscoring the ethical need to restrain anger and act from dharma rather than impulse.
Bhishma indicates a turning point: the lord of the gods (Indra), described as possessing boundless splendor, becomes angry, and the next events are implied to proceed from that divine wrath.
