Shloka 12
Śiśupāla-vadha in the Rājasūya-sabhā (शिशुपालवधः — राजसूयसभायाम्)
दन्तान् संदशतस्तस्य कोपादू ददृशुराननम् | युगान्ते सर्वभूतानि कालस्येव जिघत्सत:
dantān saṃdaśatas tasya kopād ū dadṛśur ānanam | yugānte sarvabhūtāni kālasyeva jighatsataḥ ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。怒りに歯を食いしばり歯ぎしりするや、彼の顔は恐るべき相となった――それは、劫末にあって万有を呑み尽くさんと飢える「時」そのもの（カーラ）が現れたかのようであった。

The verse warns that anger (kopa) deforms judgment and character, making a person appear—and act—like a destructive force. In the Mahābhārata’s ethical frame, such loss of self-control is a direct threat to dharma and social order.
The narrator describes a man in intense fury, gnashing his teeth; observers see his face become frightening, compared to Kāla at the end of the age, eager to consume all beings—an image that heightens the sense of impending calamity.
