expression, noun
flames of rage; intense antipathy like a blazing fire
Literary and Buddhist expression for overwhelming anger or hatred, likened to a consuming fire. Rare in everyday speech.
彼の心には瞋恚の炎が燃え上がっていた。
The flames of rage blazed up in his heart.
瞋恚の炎に焼かれるような怒りを感じた。
I felt an anger as if being burned by the flames of rage.
Means 'furious rage'; 瞋恚の炎 adds a poetic, burning imagery.
From Buddhist terminology, combining 瞋恚 (shin'i, 'anger' or 'hatred') with 炎 (honoo, 'flame'), literally 'flames of anger'. The exact historical derivation is uncertain; the expression is used in classical and religious texts.
