yadīme sahasā kruddhe sameyātāṃ śile iva
Translation
ಇವರು ಸಹಸಾ ಕ್ರೋಧದಿಂದ ಉರಿದು ಎರಡು ಶಿಲೆಗಳಂತೆ ಪರಸ್ಪರ ಧಾವಿಸಿ ಸೇರಿ ಡಿಕ್ಕಿಯಾದರೆ, ಆ ಘರ್ಷಣೆ ಭಯಂಕರವೂ ವಿನಾಶಕಾರಿಯೂ ಆಗುವುದು—ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಧರ್ಮವಲ್ಲ, ರೋಷವೇ ಫಲಿತಾಂಶವನ್ನು ನಡೆಸುವುದು।

Educational Q&A
Unchecked anger makes people collide destructively, like stones striking each other; ethical action (dharma) requires restraint and deliberation rather than impulsive wrath.
Bhīmasena speaks in a tense pre-war context, imagining (or warning) that if the opposing parties suddenly become enraged and meet head-on, the encounter will be as harsh and damaging as rocks crashing together.
