Yudhiṣṭhira’s Reproach to Dhanaṃjaya
तेषामापततां वेगमविषदहां निरीक्ष्य च
teṣām āpatatāṁ vegam aviṣadahāṁ nirīkṣya ca

The verse highlights the ethical realism of war: when destructive momentum becomes collective and unrestrained, it resembles an unquenchable fire. It cautions against underestimating escalating violence and implies the need for vigilant discernment (nirīkṣaṇa) and responsible action amid chaos.
Sañjaya narrates that a key figure (implied by context beyond this half-verse) observes the charging warriors and recognizes the force of their attack—swift, overwhelming, and seemingly impossible to check—setting up the next tactical or emotional response in the battle scene.
