From indignation: When merciless Aśvatthāma became eager to shoot arrows at Kṛṣṇa, Arjuna, though hasty to respond to his enemy, became motionless for some time because of his anger.

A similar example of becoming stunned was visible in Arjuna when he saw that Aśvatthāmā was attempting to release his brahmāstra [Note: The brahmāstra was a nuclear weapon controlled by mantra, or sound vibration.] at Kṛṣṇa.
