The verse highlights how intense emotion—especially anger—arises in war from allegiance and perceived injustice. It implicitly warns that even when anger feels justified, it becomes a powerful driver of action and must be understood within dharma and restraint.
Sañjaya reports that, in that moment, Bhīma became enraged in connection with Dhṛṣṭadyumna—indicating a turning point where Bhīma’s emotions are stirred and the battle narrative moves toward a forceful response.
