The verse highlights how quickly anger can surge in moments of political and moral crisis; it implicitly contrasts raw martial impulse with the need for dharmic restraint and right judgment before violence becomes inevitable.
Sañjaya describes key Pāṇḍava-aligned warriors reacting with visible fury—rising from their seats and showing aggressive bodily signs—indicating that negotiations and tensions are pushing the assembly toward open war.
