Sandhi Notes
Educational Q&A
The verse foregrounds krodha (anger) as a powerful catalyst even in exalted beings; when authority is driven by wrath, it can rapidly determine outcomes, underscoring the ethical need to restrain anger and act from dharma rather than impulse.
Bhishma indicates a turning point: the lord of the gods (Indra), described as possessing boundless splendor, becomes angry, and the next events are implied to proceed from that divine wrath.
