taṃ tathety abravīt pārthaḥ kṛtyarūpam idaṃ mama ||
sarvam anyad anādṛtya gaccha yatra suyodhanaḥ ||
yenaitad dīrghakālaṃ no bhuktaṃ rājyam akaṇṭakam ||
apy asya yudhi vikramya chindyāṃ mūrdhānam āhave ||
api tasyā anarhāyāḥ parikleśasya mādhava ||
kṛṣṇāyāḥ śaknuyāṃ gantuṃ padaṃ keśapradharṣaṇe ||
To him Partha said, "so be it: this deed is dear to me. Disregarding all else, go where Suyodhana is, by whom for so long our kingdom was enjoyed unhindered. Shall I be able, having shown valor in battle, to cut off his head in combat? Shall I be able, O Madhava, to repay in full measure for that undeserved humiliation of Krishna [Draupadi], for her dragging by the hair?"

Arjuna recalls "keśapradharṣaṇe," the dragging of Draupadi by the hair -- a humiliation of an innocent woman that cries out for retribution. His anger is not self-serving: he acts for her who was wronged "anarhāyāḥ," undeservedly. It is telling that the ground of righteous vengeance here is the defense of an insulted woman's honor. The verse teaches that righteous anger is born of trampled justice, not of personal grievance: the memory of an innocent woman's humiliation (Draupadi) makes retribution a sacred duty; and whoever punishes on behalf of a defenseless woman restores dharma rather than indulging self-love.
