Shloka 19
तस्य क्रुद्धस्य सर्वेभ्य: स्रोतोभ्यस्तेजसो<र्चिष: । प्रादुरासंस्तदा राज॑स्तदद्भुतमिवाभवत्,कुपित होनेपर उनके सभी छिढठद्रोंसे--रोम-रोमसे आगकी चिनगारियाँ छूटने लगीं। राजन्! उस समय वह एक अद्भुत-सी बात हुई
tasya kruddhasya sarvebhyaḥ srotobhyaḥ tejaso 'rciṣaḥ | prādurāsan tadā rājan tad adbhutam ivābhavat ||
Sañjaya sprach: Als er in Zorn geriet, brachen feurige Funken glühender Energie aus allen Bahnen seines Körpers hervor. O König! In jenem Augenblick schien es, als sei etwas Wunderbares und Unheimliches geschehen—ein äußeres Zeichen der schrecklichen Kraft, die Zorn mitten im Krieg entfesseln kann.

The verse highlights how uncontrolled anger externalizes as destructive power; in an ethical frame, it warns that wrath in war can become a consuming force, producing fear and portents rather than clear judgment.
Sañjaya reports to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra that a warrior, seized by rage, appeared so charged with fiery energy that sparks seemed to burst from his body—described as an adbhuta, a wondrous/uncanny sign amid the battle events.
