yadīme sahasā kruddhe sameyātāṃ śile iva
Translation
যদি এরা হঠাৎ ক্রোধে উন্মত্ত হয়ে দুই শিলার মতো পরস্পর ধাক্কা খেয়ে একত্র ধেয়ে আসে, তবে সেই সংঘর্ষ হবে ভয়ংকর ও সর্বনাশা—যেখানে ধর্ম নয়, ক্রোধই ফল নির্ধারণ করবে।

Educational Q&A
Unchecked anger makes people collide destructively, like stones striking each other; ethical action (dharma) requires restraint and deliberation rather than impulsive wrath.
Bhīmasena speaks in a tense pre-war context, imagining (or warning) that if the opposing parties suddenly become enraged and meet head-on, the encounter will be as harsh and damaging as rocks crashing together.
