roṣasya hi vaśaṁ gatvā daśagrīvaḥ pratāpavān | tathā śakra-pratispardhī hato rāmeṇa saṁyuge ||
Pois, ao cair sob o domínio da ira, o poderoso Daśagrīva—que até rivalizava com Śakra (Indra)—foi morto por Rāma em batalha.

Even extraordinary power and heroism cannot protect one who becomes ruled by anger; wrath clouds judgment, fuels reckless action, and leads to ruin.
Nāga cites the well-known example of Rāvaṇa (Daśagrīva), famed for his might and for challenging even Indra, who nevertheless was killed by Rāma in battle because he acted under the domination of anger.
