The Killing of Ariṣṭāsura and Kaṁsa’s Plot to Summon Kṛṣṇa
सोऽपविद्धो भगवता पुनरुत्थाय सत्वरम् । आपतत् स्विन्नसर्वाङ्गो नि:श्वसन्क्रोधमूर्च्छित: ॥ १२ ॥
so ’paviddho bhagavatā punar utthāya satvaram āpatat svinna-sarvāṅgo niḥśvasan krodha-mūrcchitaḥ
那牛魔被至上主击退后,立刻又爬起身来;浑身汗流,喘息急促,因盲目的愤怒而失去理智,再次向圣克里希纳猛冲而去。
This verse depicts an attacker becoming krodha-mūrcchitaḥ—overpowered and mentally clouded by rage—showing how anger can overwhelm judgment and lead one to act blindly, even against the Supreme Lord.
The verse describes him rising quickly and charging again, indicating stubborn aggression and ego-driven fury; despite being repelled by Bhagavān, his anger compels him to repeat the assault.
It warns that uncontrolled anger makes one breathless, agitated, and irrational; a devotee can pause, regulate the breath, and remember the Lord to avoid acting under the “spell” of rage.
