Educational Q&A
The verse highlights ethical mastery: conquering anger (krodha) and disciplining the senses (indriya-nigraha) are marks of higher dharma, enabling concord even among powerful beings.
Arjuna describes Nārāyaṇa as pleased and benevolent; upon meeting Rudra, he unites with him in a gesture of friendship (embrace), signaling harmony rather than conflict.
