द्रोणपर्व — अध्याय 128: दुर्योधनस्य परसेनाप्रवेशः
Duryodhana’s Incursion and the Tumult of Battle
तमब्रवीदश्रुपूर्ण: कृष्णसर्प इव श्वसन्
tam abravīd aśru-pūrṇaḥ kṛṣṇa-sarpa iva śvasan
Sañjaya dit : Les yeux pleins de larmes, il parla—haletant comme un serpent noir—sa douleur et sa fureur se resserrant en paroles au milieu de la ruine morale de la guerre.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how war distorts human conduct: grief and anger overwhelm restraint, and speech arises from agitation rather than dharmic clarity—an ethical warning conveyed through vivid imagery.
Sañjaya describes a person addressing another while crying and breathing harshly, compared to a black serpent—signaling intense emotional turmoil (fearsome, heated, and unstable) at this point in the Drona Parva events.
