Significance of Wrath

Wrath, according to Purana, encompasses a range of intense anger and emotional responses that can lead to destructive behaviors, both in mythological contexts and personal actions. It includes Rama's fierce anger powerful enough to threaten worlds, the anticipated rage of the sons of Pandu, and the influence of Kripa's anger during battle. Wrath is portrayed as a harmful emotion that can lead to sinful actions and loss of virtue, emphasizing its potential for violence and disruption. Dharmashastra reinforces this idea by highlighting wrath's defining characteristic of intense emotional response.1
