Duryodhana’s Anxiety, Bhīṣma’s Reassurance, and Renewed Mobilization (दुर्योधनचिन्ता–भीष्मप्रत्याश्वासन–सेनानिर्गमनम्)
अभिमन्युस्तु संक्रुद्धो लक्ष्मणं शुभलक्षणम् । विव्याध निशितै: षड्भि: सारथिं च त्रिभि: शरै:,तब क्रोधमें भरे हुए अभिमन्युने उत्तम लक्षणोंसे युक्त लक्ष्मणको छः: और उसके सारथिको तीन तीखे बाणोंसे बींध डाला
abhimanyus tu saṅkruddho lakṣmaṇaṁ śubhalakṣaṇam | vivyādha niśitaiḥ ṣaḍbhiḥ sārathiṁ ca tribhiḥ śaraiḥ ||
قال سنجيا: وقد استبدّ الغضب بأبهيمانيو، طعن لاكشمانا—ذا العلامات المباركة—بستة سهامٍ ماضية كالسيف، وأصاب سائس مركبته أيضًا بثلاثة سهام.

The verse highlights how anger (krodha) accelerates violence and widens harm in war—so that even non-royal attendants like a charioteer are struck—inviting reflection on self-mastery and the ethical strain within kṣatriya-duty on the battlefield.
Sañjaya reports that Abhimanyu, furious in combat, shoots Lakṣmaṇa with six sharp arrows and then shoots Lakṣmaṇa’s charioteer with three arrows, marking a rapid, forceful exchange in the Kurukṣetra battle.
