Even amid war, uncontrolled anger meets resistance; the verse highlights the ethical counterforce of restraint—an enraged warrior’s impulse is checked by a capable opponent, reminding that passion does not guarantee success.
Sañjaya reports that Ulūka, furious in the battle, is stopped by Sahadeva—indicating a direct confrontation where Sahadeva blocks Ulūka’s movement or attack.
