FAQs
Unchecked anger multiplies adharma: when pride is thwarted, the unrighteous often escalate harm instead of reflecting and returning to truth.
After his prior weapon is neutralized, Rāvaṇa becomes more enraged and readies another attack.
By contrast, the virtue implied is self-control—dharma requires restraint rather than escalation driven by krodha.
