दिशो विचरतस्तस्य सर्वाश्च प्रदिशस्तथा । रणे5भिमन्यो: क्रुद्धस्य रूपमन्तरधीयत,उस रफणक्षेत्रमें कुृपित होकर सम्पूर्ण दिशा-विदिशाओंमें विचरते हुए अभिमन्युका रूप अदृश्य हो गया था
diśo vicaratas tasya sarvāś ca pradiśas tathā | raṇe 'bhimanyor kruddhasya rūpam antaradhīyata ||
Sañjaya said: As the enraged Abhimanyu ranged through the battlefield in every direction and sub-direction, his form vanished from sight—lost amid the tumult of war, where anger and confusion obscure even what is directly before one’s eyes.

The verse highlights how, in the chaos of war, intense anger and rapid movement can cloud perception—suggesting an ethical warning that uncontrolled wrath and battlefield frenzy lead to confusion, misjudgment, and loss of clear sight (both literal and moral).
Sañjaya narrates that Abhimanyu, furious and ranging across all directions on the battlefield, could no longer be seen—his form became indistinct or vanished from the view of others amid the battle’s turmoil.
