On Gratitude and Friendship Ethics
निशम्य दानवा: सर्वे हृष्टा: समभिदुद्रुवु: । भयानक कर्म करनेकी इच्छासे वैसा ही रूप धारण करनेवाले रुद्रदेवको देखकर समस्त दानव हर्ष और उत्साहमें भरकर उनके ऊपर टूट पड़े
niśamya dānavāḥ sarve hṛṣṭāḥ samabhidudruvuḥ | bhayānaka-karma-karaṇecchayā tathaiva rūpaṃ dhārayantaṃ rudradevaṃ dṛṣṭvā samastā dānavā harṣotsāhena pūritāḥ tasyaivopari prapetuḥ |
ភីષ្មៈបាននិយាយថា ពេលបានឮដូច្នោះ ដានវៈទាំងអស់ក៏រីករាយ ហើយរត់ប្រញាប់មកជាមួយគ្នា។ ពួកគេឃើញព្រះរុទ្រា—ដែលបានយករូបសម្បត្តិសមនឹងបំណងធ្វើកិច្ចការគួរឲ្យភ័យខ្លាច—ក៏ពោរពេញដោយសេចក្តីរំភើប និងក្លាហានក្នុងសង្គ្រាម ហើយស្ទុះចូលវាយលើព្រះអង្គ។

Educational Q&A
Unrestrained exhilaration for violent action (harṣa-utsāha directed toward bhayānaka-karma) clouds discernment. The verse cautions that when beings mistake divine, moral force for a mere battlefield rival, their aggressive zeal becomes self-destructive and contrary to dharma.
After hearing some provoking development, the Dānavas become excited and charge. They see Rudra manifesting a terrifying form aligned with his intent to carry out dreadful deeds, and, emboldened, they collectively rush to attack him.
