अस्त्रयुद्धे द्रौणिपार्थसंघर्षः — Karṇa’s Bhārgavāstra and the Search for Yudhiṣṭhira
Chapter 45
वेपमान इव क्रोधाद् युद्धशौण्ड: परंतप: । प्रतिव्यूह्ा महातेजा यथावद् भरतर्षभ
vepamāna iva krodhād yuddhaśauṇḍaḥ paraṃtapaḥ | prativyūhaṃ mahātejā yathāvad bharatarṣabha ||
क्रोध से मानो काँपता हुआ, वह युद्ध-निपुण, शत्रु-संतापक महातेजस्वी वीर—हे भरतश्रेष्ठ—यथाविधि प्रतिव्यूह रचने लगा।

Educational Q&A
Even intense anger in warfare is shown as being harnessed through order and strategy; martial energy becomes ethically meaningful for a kṣatriya only when governed by discipline rather than uncontrolled fury.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that a great warrior, trembling with wrath, nevertheless organizes a proper counter-battle formation (prativyūha) to meet the enemy’s array.
