krodhena raktanayano daṇḍapāṇir ivāntakaḥ

Translation

Sañjaya said: With eyes reddened by anger, he appeared like Antaka (Death) himself, staff in hand—an image of wrath made visible, signaling how unchecked fury on the battlefield can turn a warrior into an instrument of destruction rather than discernment.
