Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The line highlights how mastery of skill (dhanurveda) does not by itself ensure righteousness; in war, anger can drive action, so ethical restraint and dharma must govern even the most capable warrior.

What is happening in the narrative?

Sanjaya reports to the king that a master archer becomes enraged, marking an intensification of combat and foreshadowing a forceful response on the battlefield.
