Adhyāya 33: Rauhiṇeya (Balarāma) is welcomed and takes his seat to witness the gadā-engagement
Devanagari script
उन्मत्तमिव मातज्ुं तलशब्देन मानवा: । भूय: संहर्षयामासू राजन् दुर्योधनं नृपम्,राजन! जैसे मतवाले हाथीको मनुष्य ताली बजाकर कुपित कर देते हैं, उसी प्रकार उन्होंने बारंबार ताल ठोककर राजा दुर्योधनके युद्धविषयक हर्ष और उत्साहको बढ़ाया
Transliteration
unmattam iva mātaṅgaṃ talaśabdena mānavāḥ | bhūyaḥ saṃharṣayāmāsu rājann duryodhanaṃ nṛpam ||
Translation
O King, just as people provoke a musth elephant by clapping loudly, so they repeatedly struck their palms and, by that din, further inflamed King Duryodhana’s martial exhilaration and eagerness for battle—an image that underscores how public acclaim can feed reckless pride at the edge of dharma’s limits.
