Educational Q&A

The verse highlights how anger (krodha) quickly becomes an instrument of obstruction and violence in war, tightening the chain of retaliation; it implicitly warns that loss of inner restraint fuels further destruction even when framed as martial duty.

Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Duryodhana, enraged, uses a volley of arrows to halt the forward movement of two Pāṇḍava brothers, intensifying the immediate clash on the battlefield.
