अध्याय ३: कृपस्य दुर्योधनं प्रति नीत्युपदेशः
Kṛpa’s Counsel to Duryodhana
आसाद्य भीमसेन ते संरब्धा युद्धदुर्मदा:
āsādya bhīmasena te saṃrabdhā yuddha-durmadāḥ
সঞ্জয়ে ক’লে—ভীমসেনৰ ওচৰলৈ আহি তেওঁলোক ক্ৰোধে উন্মত্ত হ’ল; যুদ্ধমদে দুঃসাহসী হৈ তেওঁলোকে তেওঁৰ সৈতে যুঁজিবলৈ আগবাঢ়িল।
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights how anger and battle-frenzy can overpower judgment: warriors, intoxicated by combat, rush toward a formidable opponent. It implicitly warns that uncontrolled passion (krodha, durmada) drives action in war, often eclipsing discernment and restraint.
Sañjaya reports that a group of warriors closes in on Bhīma. They are provoked and emboldened by the heat of battle, and they advance to engage him directly.
