Even a dharmic person may be driven to violent action in a righteous war when it is tied to kṣatriya-duty and the restoration of order; the verse highlights determined resolve directed toward ending adharma, not mere personal hatred.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Yudhiṣṭhira, encouraged and joyful, is moving about the battlefield with his brothers, seeking an opportunity to kill Duryodhana and bring the struggle to a decisive conclusion.
