Karṇa’s Camp-Council Discourse: Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Lament, Sañjaya’s Counsel, and Karṇa’s Request for Śalya
Book 8, Chapter 22
सहदेवस्तु संक्रुद्ध: खड्ग॑ गृह महाहवे । आविध्य प्रासृजत् तूर्ण तव पुत्ररथं प्रति,तब सहदेवने अत्यन्त कुपित होकर उस महासमरमें तलवार उठा ली और उसे घुमाकर तुरंत ही आपके पुत्रके रथकी ओर फेंका
sahadevas tu saṅkruddhaḥ khaḍgaṃ gṛhya mahāhave | āvidhya prāsṛjat tūrṇaṃ tava putrarathaṃ prati ||
သဉ္ဇယက ပြောသည်– «သဟဒေဝသည် အလွန်ဒေါသထွက်၍ ထိုမဟာစစ်ပွဲတွင် ဓားကို ဆွဲယူ하였다။ ၎င်းကို လှည့်ဝှက်ကာ မင်း၏သား၏ ရထားသို့ လျင်မြန်စွာ ပစ်လွှတ်하였다»။

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how anger (krodha) can rapidly convert intention into violent action, especially in war. It implicitly warns that even righteous warriors must guard their inner discipline, because wrath accelerates harm and narrows ethical reflection.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Sahadeva, furious in the thick of battle, grabs his sword, whirls it, and hurls it toward the chariot of Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s son (contextually Duryodhana), signaling an immediate escalation in their combat.
