The verse highlights how anger arises in response to perceived wrongdoing in war, reminding readers that even righteous warriors must contend with inner passions; the ethical tension lies in acting within kṣatriya-duty while not being consumed by wrath.
Sañjaya reports that Sātyaki becomes enraged and turns toward Drauṇi (Aśvatthāman) on the battlefield as Drauṇi is actively striking in combat, setting up a direct confrontation.
