sibiraya—on the way to the military camp; ninisantam—while bringing
him; rajjava—by the ropes; baddhva— bound up; ripum—the enemy ; balat—
by force; praha—said; arjunam—unto Arjuna; prakupitah—in an angry

TRANSLATION
After binding Aévatthama, Arjuna wanted to take him to the military
camp. The Personality of Godhead Sri Krsna, looking on with His lotus
eyes, spoke to angry Arjuna.
PURPORT
Both Arjuna and Lord Sri Krsna are described here in an angry mood,
but Arjuna’s eyes were like balls of red copper whereas the eyes of the
Lord are like the lotus. This means that the angry mood of Arjuna and
that of the Lord are not on the same level. The Lord is Transcendence,
and thus He is absolute in any stage. His anger is not like the anger of a
conditioned living being within the medes of qualitative material nature.
Because He is absolute, both His anger and pleasure are the same. His
anger is not exhibited in the three modes of material nature. It is only a
sign of His bent of mind towards the cause of His devotee because that is
His transcendental nature. Therefore, even if He is angry, the object of
anger is blessed. He is unchanged in all circumstances.
