サンジャヤは言った。「大王よ、彼はその象の前面めがけて武器を投げ放った。すると諸王の中でも最も優れた支配者、プラージョーティシャの王は怒りに燃え、ダシャールナ王の戦象を正面からトーマラ（投げ槍）十四本で突き刺した。」

The verse highlights how anger (krodha) escalates violence in war; it implicitly warns that even in righteous battle, loss of restraint can intensify cruelty and cloud dharmic judgment.
Sañjaya describes a combat moment where the king of Prāgjyotiṣa, enraged, strikes the Daśārṇa king’s elephant head-on with fourteen javelins, intensifying the clash involving war-elephants.
