Shloka 3
ततः क्रुद्धों भीमसेनस्तरस्वी शक्ति चोग्रां प्राहिणोत् ते सुताय । तामापतन्ती सहसातिघोरां दृष्टवा सुतस्ते ज्वलितामिवोल्काम्
tataḥ kruddho bhīmasenas tarasvī śaktiṃ cogrāṃ prāhiṇot te sutāya | tām āpatantīṃ sahasātighorāṃ dṛṣṭvā sutas te jvalitām ivolkām ||
ତେବେ କ୍ରୋଧରେ ଜ୍ୱଳିଥିବା ବଳବାନ ଭୀମସେନ ତୁମ ପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ଏକ ଘୋର ଶକ୍ତି ନିକ୍ଷେପ କଲେ। ସେ ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଭୟଙ୍କର ଅସ୍ତ୍ରଟି ହଠାତ୍ ଧାଇଆସୁଥିବା—ଜ୍ୱଲିତ ଉଲ୍କା ପରି—ଦେଖି, ତୁମ ପୁତ୍ର ଯୁଦ୍ଧମଧ୍ୟରେ ହିଁ ସେ ଆପଦକୁ ଦେଖିଲେ।

The verse highlights how, in war, anger can drive decisive action, yet the ethical weight of such action remains: a warrior’s momentary wrath unleashes consequences that must be borne within the framework of kṣatriya-dharma. It also underscores the need for steadiness and discernment when sudden danger arrives.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Bhīma, enraged, throws a fierce spear-like missile (śakti) at Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s son. The son sees the weapon rushing toward him instantly, compared to a blazing meteor.
