Krodha

Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 2

The mind that dwells on sense objects spirals from attachment to desire to anger—this is the chain that binds the soul.

Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 6

No guru, god, or grace can save you—you must lift yourself by yourself, for you alone are your truest friend or your worst enemy.

Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 5

The sage who masters breath, sense, and mind while releasing desire, fear, and anger does not merely seek liberation—such a one IS already forever free.

Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto 9, Chapters 4-5

King Ambarisha's devotion was tested when sage Durvasa took offense at him breaking his Ekadashi fast. Durvasa created a demon to kill the king, but Vishnu's Sudarshana Chakra destroyed it and chased Durvasa across the universe until he sought Ambarisha's forgiveness.

Katha Upanishad, Chapters 1-2

Young Nachiketa, sent to Death by his angry father, waits three days at Yama's abode. Granted three boons, he refuses wealth and pleasures, persisting in asking about death's mystery. Yama reveals the eternal Self (Atman) is unborn and undying - immortality comes through Self-knowledge, not rituals.

Bhima & Hanuman

Rage is fuel, not weakness—the question is what you burn with it. Patience compresses anger into focused power. Even the strongest need to learn timing.

Bhima & Draupadi

Some vows are made not because they're good but because they're necessary. Shared vengeance can be its own form of intimacy. The most terrifying anger is the kind that can wait.
