Educational Q&A

The verse highlights the ethical danger of krodha (anger): when anger overwhelms discernment, it generates destructive consequences. Even when framed as a divine event, it functions as a moral warning that wrath unrestrained by dharma leads to saṃhāra (ruin/dissolution).

Arjuna narrates that at the close of the day, a god—seized by anger—produced Rudra from his forehead, described as a son-like manifestation whose role is destruction (saṃhāra).
