Duhshasana–Sahadeva Clash; Bhima–Karna Mace Exchange; Drona–Arjuna Astra Duel
द्रोणस्तु परमक्रुद्धों वायव्यास्त्रेण संयुगे
droṇas tu paramakruddho vāyavyāstreṇa saṁyuge
サンジャヤは語った。激戦のただ中で、ドローナは—極度の憤怒にとらわれ—風神の武器ヴァーヤヴィヤ(Vāyavya)のアストラを用いた。この一句は、怒りがいかにして偉大な師にして戦士でさえも恐るべきアストラによって暴力をエスカレートさせ得るかを示し、武人の務めと自己制御とのあいだに倫理的緊張を生むことを浮き彫りにする。
संयज उवाच
The verse highlights the moral danger of anger in warfare: when rage governs judgment, one is prone to escalate conflict by deploying overwhelming force, challenging the ideal of self-control even within kṣatriya duty.
Sañjaya reports that Droṇa, intensely angered during the fight, employs the Vāyavya astra—an advanced wind-based weapon—signaling a heightened and more destructive phase of the battle.
