भीष्मपर्व — अध्याय ६२: वासुदेवमहात्म्यप्रशंसा (देव–ब्रह्मसंवादः)
भीमसेनस्तु संक़ुद्धों दुर्योधनममर्षणम् । हृद्यविध्यत् पृषत्केन प्रहसन्निव पाण्डव:,क्रोधमें भरे हुए पाण्डुनन्दन भीमसेनने हँसते हुए-से एक बाण मारकर अमर्षशील दुर्योधनकी छाती छेद डाली
bhīmasenas tu saṅkruddho duryodhanam amarṣaṇam | hṛdi vidhyat pṛṣatkēna prahasann iva pāṇḍavaḥ ||
قال سنجيا: وقد استبدّ الغضب ببهيمسينا، ابن باندو، فأصاب دوريودhana الذي لا يلين بسهم في صدره، كأنما يضحك.

The verse highlights the power of krodha (anger) to drive swift, forceful action in war, while also hinting at the ethical tension of the Mahābhārata: even justified combat under kṣatriya-dharma carries a heavy moral atmosphere, where outward bravado ("as if laughing") contrasts with the seriousness of harming kin.
Sañjaya reports that Bhīma, furious, shoots Duryodhana with an arrow that pierces his chest/heart-region, describing Bhīma’s demeanor as though he were laughing—an image of battlefield confidence and intimidation.
