Anuvinda, 'bhrātuḥ vadham anusmaran,' remembering the death of his brother, throws himself into battle with his mace. Love for a brother turns into sacrificial fury — and death. It is significant that the avenger himself follows his brother in dying. The verse teaches that brotherly love is noble, yet within the circle of vengeance it leads to shared ruin: Anuvinda cannot outlive his brother and rushes toward his own death; and attachment, not illumined by wisdom, draws the one who loves after the one he loves, multiplying rather than ending sorrow.
