Bhīmasena and Dhṛṣṭadyumna’s Speeches on Kṣātra-Dharma
ततः क्रुद्धो महाराज शैनेय: प्रहसन्निव । धनुश्चिच्छेद समरे कौरव्यस्य महात्मन:,महाराज! तब क्रोधमें भरे हुए सात्यकिने हँसते हुए-से समरांगणमें महामना कुरुवंशी भूरिके धनुषको काट दिया
tataḥ kruddho mahārāja śaineyaḥ prahasann iva | dhanuś ciccheda samare kauravyasya mahātmanaḥ ||
قال سنجيا: أيها الملك، عندئذٍ إنّ شَيْنَيَة (ساتياكي)، وقد اشتعل غضبًا وكأنه يبتسم، قطع في خضمّ القتال قوس ذلك الكاورافي النبيل الروح.

Educational Q&A
Even amid anger, a warrior’s action can be guided by discernment: disabling an enemy’s weapon highlights strategic mastery and the kṣatriya ideal of shaping battle through skill, not mere rage.
Sañjaya reports that Sātyaki (Śaineya), enraged yet seemingly smiling, severs the bow of a Kaurava opponent during combat, abruptly reducing the opponent’s fighting capability.
