Seseorang menjadi tuli; darah (yudhirudhīra) terguncang; batin menjadi gelisah dan goyah. Ādhi-vyādhi serta duka makin kuat, dan laku-sādhana serta siddhi pun terhalang. Amarah, pemukulan, penolakan keras, kegelisahan tersembunyi, pedih membara, lalu akhirnya kenyang yang berubah menjadi congkak—demikian kekacauan batin bertambah.
