भीमसेनस्य बहुमहारथसंयुगः
Bhīmasena’s Engagement with Multiple Mahārathas
(अभवत्् परमप्रीतो ज्ञात्वा पार्थस्य विक्रमम् ।) न किंचिदुक्त्वा सक्रोध आरुरोह रथं पुन: । महामना अर्जुनका यह वचन सुनकर उनके पराक्रमको जानते हुए भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण मन-ही-मन अत्यन्त प्रसन्न हुए और ऊपरसे कुछ भी न बोलकर पुनः क्रोधपूर्वक ही रथपर जा बैठे
abhavat paramaprīto jñātvā pārthasya vikramam | na kiñcid uktvā sa-krodha ārurōha rathaṃ punaḥ |
Sañjaya dijo: Conociendo el poder de Pārtha, Krishna se alegró en lo más hondo. Sin embargo, sin decir nada en voz alta, volvió a subir al carro, aún mostrando por fuera el ímpetu de la ira—una ira dirigida a la crisis del dharma en el campo de batalla, y no contra Arjuna.

The verse highlights restrained leadership: Krishna feels deep approval upon recognizing Arjuna’s valor, yet he does not indulge in praise at that moment. His outward anger signals urgency and moral seriousness in a dharma-crisis, showing that strong emotion can be directed toward protecting righteousness while remaining inwardly clear and supportive.
Sanjaya reports that Krishna, having understood Arjuna’s prowess, becomes inwardly delighted. Still, he says nothing and returns to the chariot, appearing angry—reflecting the tense battlefield situation and the immediate need to act rather than speak.
