Duryodhana-vadha-pratikriyā: Harṣa, Nindā, and Kṛṣṇa’s Nīti-vyākhyā (Śalya-parva 60)
तस्य तत् तद् ब्रुवाणस्य रोष: समभवन्महान् | ततो राजानमालोक्य रोषसंरक्तलोचन:,ये सब बातें कहते हुए बलदेवजीका रोष बहुत बढ़ गया। फिर राजा दुर्योधनकी ओर दृष्टिपात करके उनकी आँखें क्रोधसे लाल हो गयीं
tasya tat tad bruvāṇasya roṣaḥ samabhavan mahān | tato rājānam ālokya roṣa-saṃrakta-locanaḥ ||
Während er diese Worte weiter sprach, stieg in Baladeva großer Zorn auf. Dann, als er den Blick auf König Duryodhana richtete, röteten sich seine Augen vor Wut.
संजय उवाच
Unchecked anger (roṣa) rapidly colors perception and judgment—symbolized by eyes reddened with wrath—and can push a tense ethical dispute toward violence; the verse highlights the inner escalation that precedes outward action.
Sanjaya reports that as the speech continues, Baladeva’s anger swells; he then looks directly at King Duryodhana, his eyes turning red with rage, indicating a sharp turn in mood and an impending clash.
