Chapter 111

Devanagari script

तथा तौ भृशसंक्रुद्धौ राक्षसेन्द्री महाबलौ

Transliteration

tathā tau bhṛśa-saṅkruddhau rākṣasendrī mahābalau

Translation

Sañjaya said: Thus those two—mightily enraged—stood forth as a powerful rākṣasa-lord and rākṣasī, their strength swelling with wrath. The verse underscores how anger, when ungoverned, becomes a force that intensifies violence and hardens the heart in the midst of war.
