Shloka 37
ततः क्रुद्धो वृषसेनो महात्मा ववर्ष ताविषुजालेन वीर: । महारथावेकरथे समेतौ शरै: प्रभिन्दन्निव पाण्डवेयौ,इससे महामनस्वी वीर वृषसेनको बड़ा क्रोध हुआ। वह एक रथपर एकत्र हुए उन महारथी पाण्डुकुमारोंको बाणोंद्वारा विदीर्ण करता हुआ उन दोनोंपर बाणसमूहोंकी वर्षा करने लगा
tataḥ kruddho vṛṣaseno mahātmā vavarṣa tāv iṣujālena vīraḥ | mahārathāv ekarathe sametau śaraiḥ prabhindann iva pāṇḍaveyau ||
Sanjaya berkata: Lalu Vṛṣasena, sang pahlawan berhati agung, murka dan menghujani kedua pangeran Pāṇḍava itu dengan jala panah yang rapat. Meski keduanya berdiri bersama di satu kereta, ia menghantam mereka dengan anak panah seakan hendak membelah mereka.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how anger (krodha) can intensify violence and drive a warrior to overwhelming force; it also suggests that even unity and shared resolve (two heroes on one chariot) can be tested by relentless aggression—an ethical reminder that wrath is a powerful, often destabilizing motive in war.
Sañjaya describes Vṛṣasena becoming furious and unleashing a heavy barrage of arrows at two Pāṇḍava princes who are together on a single chariot, piercing them repeatedly as though he would split them apart.
