Shloka 8
अध्याय ७५ — दैव-पुरुषकार-समन्वयः
Reconciling Contingency and Human Effort
यदीमे सहसा क्रुद्धे समेयातां शिले इव
yadīme sahasā kruddhe sameyātāṃ śile iva
Jika orang-orang ini tiba-tiba menyala oleh amarah lalu menerjang bersama bagaikan dua batu karang yang saling bertumbukan, benturan itu akan dahsyat dan membinasakan—sebuah letupan ketika amarah, bukan dharma, yang menggerakkan akibatnya.
भीमसेन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Unchecked anger makes people collide destructively, like stones striking each other; ethical action (dharma) requires restraint and deliberation rather than impulsive wrath.
Bhīmasena speaks in a tense pre-war context, imagining (or warning) that if the opposing parties suddenly become enraged and meet head-on, the encounter will be as harsh and damaging as rocks crashing together.
