Adhyāya 141 — Night duels: Śaineya and Bhūriśravas; Droṇi and Ghaṭotkaca; Bhīma and Duryodhana
असिं प्रासृजदाविध्य त्वरन् कर्णरथं प्रति | महाराज! ढाल और रथसे रहित हुए भीमसेनने क्रोधसे आतुर हो बड़ी उतावलीके साथ कर्णके रथपर तलवार घुमाकर चला दी
sañjaya uvāca | asiṁ prāsṛjad āvidhya tvaran karṇarathaṁ prati | mahārāja! ḍhāla aura rathase rahita hue bhīmasenane krodhase ātura ho baṛī utāvalīke sātha karṇake rathapar talavār ghumākar calā dī |
Sañjaya said: Hurrying, Bhīmasena whirled his sword and hurled it toward Karṇa’s chariot. O King, though deprived of both shield and chariot, he was driven by wrath and pressed the attack with fierce urgency—showing how, in the heat of war, anger can propel a warrior beyond ordinary safeguards and into reckless valor.
