Grief is transmuted into wrath, and the verse renders this bodily: "krodhamūrchitaḥ… kampamānaḥ jvareṇa iva… pāṇiṃ pāṇau viniṣpiṣya… unmattaḥ iva". The trembling, the wrung hands, the mad gaze — sorrow has reached the extremity beyond which a vow is born. It is telling that before the great oath, its depths are shown: not cold resolve but a frenzy of love that has become force. The verse teaches that the most terrible vows do not ripen in calm but at the very bottom of grief; and so they must still pass through the trial of dharma, to become from fury a righteous will.
