Transliteration

darśayitvā tathātmānaṃ raudraṃ rudra-parākramaḥ | avaruddho 'carat pārtho varṣāṇi tridaśāni ca || krodhāgnim utsṛjan vīro dhārtarāṣṭreṣu pāṇḍavaḥ ||

Translation

Vaiśampāyana said: Having thus revealed his own fierce form—mighty as Rudra—Pārtha (Arjuna), though constrained, had lived through thirteen years. Now, finding the fitting moment, that heroic Pāṇḍava began to range upon the field, pouring out the fire of his wrath upon the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, making his terrible prowess manifest.
