The verse highlights how a forceful directive—especially one rooted in anger or revenge—can set in motion large-scale violence. It implicitly cautions that speech and intention (saṅkalpa) are ethically potent: when authority legitimizes hostility, conflict rapidly becomes inevitable and destructive.
Śalya recounts the mythic episode where Tvaṣṭṛ tells Vṛtra to kill Indra (Śakra). Vṛtra then goes to heaven, and a great battle erupts between Vṛtra and Indra (Vāsava).
