Shloka 28
भीमकर्णसमागमः | Bhīma–Karṇa Encounter
तौ दृष्टवा पतिसंरब्धौ दुर्योधनधनंजयौ । अभ्यवैक्षन्त राजानो भीमरूपा: समन्ततः,दुर्योधन तथा अर्जुनको परस्पर कुपित देख भयंकर नरेशगण सब ओर खड़े हो चुपचाप देखने लगे
tau dṛṣṭvā patisaṃrabdhau duryodhana-dhanañjayau | abhyavaikṣanta rājāno bhīmarūpāḥ samantataḥ ||
قال سانجيا: لما رأى دوريوذانا ودهاننجايا (أرجونا) متأجّجين غضبًا أحدهما على الآخر، وقف الملوك ذوو الهيئة المهيبة من كل جانب يرقبون في صمت—إذ كانوا يعلمون أن صدام بطلين كهذين سيهزّ نظام الميدان الأخلاقي والسياسي معًا.

Educational Q&A
Unchecked anger between leading warriors becomes a public, destabilizing force: even powerful kings fall into the role of silent spectators, sensing that personal rage can override prudence and intensify collective destruction—highlighting the ethical danger of krodha (wrath) in a dharma-framed war.
Sañjaya reports that Duryodhana and Arjuna are visibly enraged at each other. Surrounding kings and chiefs, formidable themselves, gather around and watch closely, anticipating a decisive encounter between the two champions.
