Even justified anger must be governed by restraint and propriety; Yudhiṣṭhira embodies dharma by checking impulsive violence and urging calm in a charged public setting.
Bhīma is about to act forcefully, but Yudhiṣṭhira physically holds him back and instructs him to stop and sit quietly, preventing an immediate escalation in the assembly.
