Śalya–Yudhiṣṭhira Duel and the Discharge of the Śakti (शल्यवधप्रसङ्गः)
युधिष्ठिरस्तु मद्रेशमभ्यधावदमर्षित: । स्वयं संनोदयजन्नश्वान् दन्तवर्णान् मनोजवान्
yudhiṣṭhiras tu madreśam abhyadhāvad amarṣitaḥ | svayaṃ saṃnodayann aśvān dantavarṇān manojavān ||
তাৰ পাছত ক্ৰোধে উদ্দীপ্ত যুধিষ্ঠিৰে দাঁতৰ দৰে শুভ্ৰ আৰু মনৰ দৰে বেগৱান ঘোঁৰাবোৰক নিজেই তাড়না কৰি মদ্ৰেশ্বৰ শল্যৰ ওপৰত ধাৱিত হ’ল।

Even a ruler devoted to dharma may be driven to fierce action when justice, grief, and duty converge; the verse frames wrath not as mere passion but as a battle-moment where a king personally assumes responsibility and confronts a powerful adversary.
Sañjaya describes Yudhiṣṭhira, angered, charging directly at Śalya, the Madra king, while personally driving his swift white horses—signaling an intense close engagement in the Kurukṣetra war.
