Sañjaya berkata: Dengan mata memerah kerana amarah, mereka melepaskan banyak anak panah. Berlari menyerbu Bhīmasena bersama-sama, mereka menikamnya dengan ganas.

The verse highlights how anger (krodha) can dominate perception and action—symbolized by reddened eyes—and can unify people toward harmful ends. In the Mahābhārata’s ethical frame, such wrath-driven aggression contrasts with the ideal of disciplined, dharma-guided conduct even in war.
Sañjaya reports that a group of warriors, enraged, charge at Bhīmasena and shower him with many arrows, piercing him fiercely. It is a moment of concentrated assault against Bhīma during the Kurukṣetra battle.
