The verse highlights how personal loss in war can ignite overpowering anger that drives immediate retaliation. Ethically, it underscores the Mahābhārata’s recurring warning: even a ‘great-souled’ warrior can be swept into destructive impulsiveness when grief turns into rage, intensifying the cycle of violence.
Sañjaya reports that Karṇa witnesses his son being killed in the battle by Arjuna (described as white-steeded). Overcome with intense fury, Karṇa immediately charges toward Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna to attack them.
