Virāṭa-parva Adhyāya 22 — Draupadī’s Abduction Attempt and Bhīma’s Suppression of the Kīcakas
ततस्तदू भवन श्रेष्ठ प्राकम्पत मुहुर्मुहुः । बलवच्चापि संक्रुद्धावन्योन्यं प्रति गर्जत:,इससे वह विशाल भवन बार-बार हिल उठता था। दोनों योद्धा बड़े क्रोधमें भरकर एक- दूसरेके सामने जोर-जोरसे गरज रहे थे
tatas tadū bhavana-śreṣṭhaḥ prākampata muhur muhuḥ | balavac cāpi saṅkruddhāv anyonyaṁ prati garjataḥ ||
ત્યારે તે ઉત્તમ, વિશાળ ભવન વારંવાર કંપી ઊઠતું હતું. ક્રોધથી પ્રજ્વલિત બંને બળવાન યોદ્ધાઓ એકબીજાની સામે ઊંચે અવાજે ગર્જના કરતા હતા.

The verse highlights how uncontrolled krodha (anger) amplifies conflict: it turns a confrontation into a destabilizing force that affects even the surrounding environment. Ethically, it warns that rage and pride can overpower restraint and push opponents toward violence.
In the midst of a tense encounter, two powerful fighters, furious with each other, roar in challenge. Their mutual aggression is so intense that the great hall repeatedly trembles, underscoring the imminence of a clash.
