आत्तकार्मुकनिस्त्रिंशा: कृष्णपार्थो प्रदुद्र॒व॒ु: । मित्र देवता जिसके किनारोंपर छुरे लगे हुए थे
Vaiśampāyana uvāca: āttakārmuka-nistriṁśāḥ kṛṣṇa-pārtho pradudruvuḥ | mitrā devatā yasya kināreṣu churāḥ lagāḥ te cakraṁ gṛhītvā sthitāḥ | mahārāja! pūṣā bhagaḥ ca krodha-bharitaḥ savitā ca dhanuḥ khaḍgaṁ ca gṛhītvā śrīkṛṣṇārjunayoḥ upari abhyapatat ||
Waiśampāyana berkata—bersenjatakan busur dan pedang, Śrī Kṛṣṇa dan Pārtha (Arjuna) melesat maju. Mitra pun mengangkat cakranya yang bertepi bilah-bilah tajam dan berdiri siap. Wahai Raja, Pūṣan, Bhaga, dan Savitṛ—dipenuhi amarah—menggenggam busur serta pedang lalu menerjang Śrī Kṛṣṇa dan Arjuna.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how krodha (anger) can overwhelm discernment and provoke even exalted beings into aggression; dharma is tested when power is driven by wrath rather than restraint and right judgment.
Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna surge forward armed, while Mitra readies a bladed discus; Pūṣan, Bhaga, and Savitṛ, enraged, take up weapons and attack Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna, intensifying the confrontation.
