अध्याय ५०: उत्तरेण सह अर्जुनस्य रथप्रयाणे ध्वजचिह्नैः कौरवसेनानिर्देशः
Arjuna directs Uttara by identifying Kaurava commanders through banners
अन्तकः पवनो मृत्युस्तथाग्निर्वडवामुख: । कुर्युरेते क्वचिच्छेषं न तु क्रुद्धो धनंजय:,यमराज, वायु, मृत्यु और बड़वानल--ये चाहे जड़-मूलसे नष्ट न करें, कुछ बाकी छोड़ दें, परंतु अर्जुन कुपित होनेपर कुछ भी नहीं छोड़ेंगे
antakaḥ pavano mṛtyus tathāgnir vaḍavāmukhaḥ | kuryur ete kvacic cheṣaṃ na tu kruddho dhanaṃjayaḥ ||
克利波说道：“安多迦（阎摩）、狂风、死亡，乃至那如‘母马之口’般炽烈的火焰，有时尚会留下些什么；唯独檀那阇耶（阿周那）一旦震怒，便寸草不留。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how uncontrolled anger in a powerful person becomes utterly destructive. Even cosmic forces may leave remnants, but a wrathful hero can become ‘total’ in devastation—an implicit ethical caution about mastering krodha (anger), especially in the context of dharmic warfare.
Kṛpa is speaking in a martial context, emphasizing Arjuna’s unmatched capacity for destruction when provoked. By comparing him to Yama, wind, death, and fire, Kṛpa signals to listeners that confronting Arjuna in his fury is tantamount to facing annihilation.
