Chapter 59: Baladeva’s Censure, Keśava’s Restraint, and Yudhiṣṭhira’s Moral Accounting

Devanagari script

तथैव क्रोधसंरक्तो भीम: परबलार्दन:

Transliteration

tathaiva krodhasaṃrakto bhīmaḥ parabala-ardanaḥ

Translation

Sañjaya said: In the same way, Bhīma—his mind inflamed with wrath—set himself to crush the enemy’s strength. The line underscores how anger, though a dangerous passion, is here harnessed in the battlefield toward the single-minded task of breaking the opposing force.
