Shloka 1536
धृतराष्ट्रस्य युधिष्ठिरं प्रति व्यवहार-रक्षा-नियमनोपदेशः | Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Instruction on Administration, Punishment, and Daily Governance
भीमसेनस्तु सक्रोध: प्रोवाचेदं वचस्तदा । ऐसी बात कहते हुए अर्जुनकी धर्मराज युधिष्ठिरने भूरि-भूरि प्रशंसा की। तब भीमसेनने कुपित होकर उनसे यह बात कही--
bhīmasenas tu sakrodhaḥ provācedaṃ vacas tadā |
വൈശമ്പായനൻ പറഞ്ഞു—അപ്പോൾ ക്രോധം പിടിച്ച ഭീമസേനൻ ഈ വാക്കുകൾ പറഞ്ഞു.

Educational Q&A
The verse foregrounds the ethical danger of krodha (anger) in speech: even within a righteous family, imbalance in praise and recognition can provoke resentment, and anger-driven words can disturb harmony and dharma.
Vaiśaṃpāyana narrates that Bhīma, becoming angry, begins to speak—setting up a response to the preceding context where Yudhiṣṭhira has been praising Arjuna repeatedly.
