Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse highlights how krodha (anger) can overwhelm discernment and provoke even exalted beings into aggression; dharma is tested when power is driven by wrath rather than restraint and right judgment.

What is happening in the narrative?

Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna surge forward armed, while Mitra readies a bladed discus; Pūṣan, Bhaga, and Savitṛ, enraged, take up weapons and attack Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna, intensifying the confrontation.
