Shloka 92
तस्य क्ुद्धस्य नेत्राभ्यां पावक: समजायत । महोल्काभ्यां यथा राजन् सार्चिष: स्नेहबिन्दव:,नरेश्वरर जैसे मशालोंसे जलती हुई तेलकी बूँदें गिरती हैं, उसी प्रकार क्रुद्ध हुए घटोत्कचके दोनों नेत्रोंस आगकी चिनगारियाँ छूटने लगीं
tasya kruddhasya netrābhyāṃ pāvakaḥ samajāyata | maholkābhyāṃ yathā rājan sārciṣaḥ snehabindavaḥ ||
Wahai Raja, ketika ia menyala oleh amarah, seakan-akan api memancar dari kedua matanya. Laksana tetes-tetes minyak yang menyala dan berpercik jatuh dari obor besar, demikianlah percikan api meledak dari matanya.

Sañjaya describes the enraged warrior (contextually Ghaṭotkaca) as so furious that sparks seem to fly from his eyes, using a simile of oil-drops falling from blazing torches—signaling imminent, fierce combat.
