Hearing his words — harsh, harsh-sounding, and abundant — mighty Bhimasena, the best of the strong, grew enraged. His eyes, lotus-like, by nature long and wide, with corners already copper-red from wrath, grew redder still. All the kings beheld the threefold crease between his brows — upon his forehead, like the Ganga flowing in three streams upon the three-peaked mountain.

Bhima's wrath is not self-loving fury but the boiling over of one who loves — unable to bear slander against the Lord and against the revered elder. It is telling that a devotee suffers an insult to Krishna more sharply than an insult to himself: where he would stay silent over his own honor, he cannot stay silent over the Lord's. The verse teaches that there is a righteous indignation — the flame of a heart wounded on behalf of what is holy. But even this, as what follows will show, must yield to wisdom: zeal is noble, yet its hour and form are not in the hands of the zealous one. Love boils over, but its fulfillment is left to the Lord.
