भीष्मस्य मण्डलव्यूहः — Bhīṣma’s Maṇḍala Battle-Formation and the Opening Engagements
तस्मिंस्तथा वर्तमाने रणे भीष्म॑ महारथम् | अयोधयन्त संरब्धा: पाण्डवा भरतर्षभ,भरतश्रेष्ठ] उस समय क्रोधमें भरे हुए पाण्डव उस युद्धमें महारथी भीष्मके साथ युद्ध करने लगे
tasmiṁs tathā vartamāne raṇe bhīṣmaṁ mahāratham | ayodhayanta saṁrabdhāḥ pāṇḍavā bharatarṣabha ||
ഭരതവൃഷഭാ, യുദ്ധം അങ്ങനെ തുടരുമ്പോൾ ക്രോധം നിറഞ്ഞ പാണ്ഡവർ മഹാരഥനായ ഭീഷ്മനോടു യുദ്ധം തുടങ്ങി।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how, in war, even righteous warriors can be overtaken by anger; ethical struggle persists alongside duty, especially when confronting a venerable elder like Bhīṣma.
As the battle rages on, the Pāṇḍavas, provoked and furious, directly engage Bhīṣma—renowned as a mahāratha—in active combat, as Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra.
