Educational Q&A

The verse highlights how intense anger and long-held enmity can drive decisive action even amid suffering. In the ethical landscape of the Mahābhārata, it warns that war amplifies passions; a warrior’s duty and strategy may be entangled with personal wrath, demanding vigilance over one’s inner state.

Sañjaya reports that Bhīma, though badly wounded, becomes enraged and shoots a gold-adorned arrow at Śakuni (also called Saubala), directing his attack specifically toward the notorious Kaurava ally.
