ພວກເຂົາສະແດງກົນລະຍຸດມວຍປ້ຳຫຼາກຫຼາຍ ເຊັ່ນ «ຈິຕຣະ-ຫັດສະ» (ການເຄື່ອນໄຫວມືຫຼອກລວງ) ແລະພະຍາຍາມໃຊ້ «ກັກສາບັນທະ» ໂດຍສອດແຂນທັງສອງເຂົ້າໃຕ້ກົກແຂນ/ຮອບແອວຂອງຄູ່ຕໍ່ສູ້ເພື່ອມັດຄວບຄຸມ. ຈາກນັ້ນພວກເຂົາຕີຄໍແລະແກ້ມກັນຢ່າງແຮງ ຈົນເຫັນຄືປະກາຍໄຟກະເດັນ ແລະສຽງດັງດຸດຟ້າຜ່າ.

Educational Q&A
The verse primarily depicts technique and intensity rather than a direct moral injunction; ethically, it illustrates how competitive display can quickly harden into violent domination, highlighting the thin line between sport and harm when force and pride escalate.
Two combatants perform deceptive hand-feints and attempt the kakṣābandha clinch to bind each other; the struggle intensifies into heavy strikes to the neck and cheek, described with imagery of sparks and thunderbolt-like sound.
