उत्तर २
The wrath of the poet has become an actual tree. Anger does not bear apples. But apple trees can do. The tree has grown well. It has started blossoming and bearing fruits. The apple is very bright and it is attractive to the enemy’s eyes. The enemy makes up his mind to taste it. He tries to get the fruit stealthily. Apparently, in the dark night, the enemy eats the apple. It ends up killing the enemy or making him fall asleep. Death has become inevitable to the enemy. Thus the poisonous fruit killed the enemy and made the poet happy.
“Destroy enmity but not enemies”
