The Crow-and-Swan Exemplum as Counsel to Karṇa
विधित्सु: कलहस्यान्तं धर्मराजमुपाद्रवत् । उसके बाद क्रोधमें भरे हुए दुर्योधनने वेगपूर्वक गदा उठाकर कलहका अन्त कर देनेकी इच्छासे धर्मराज युधिष्ठिरपर आक्रमण किया
vidhitsuḥ kalahasyāntaṃ dharmarājam upādravat |
Sañjaya berkata: Dengan niat menamatkan pertikaian itu, Duryodhana—yang marahnya menyala—menerpa Dharmarāja Yudhiṣṭhira, mengangkat gada dengan penuh tenaga, hendak menyelesaikan sengketa melalui penamat yang ganas, bukan melalui pengekangan diri dan dharma.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how anger can masquerade as a desire to 'end' conflict, yet it drives one toward adharma—seeking closure through force rather than through self-control, justice, and right conduct.
Sañjaya reports that Duryodhana, enraged, charges at Yudhiṣṭhira (Dharmarāja) with a raised mace, intending to finish the dispute by attacking him directly.
