Shloka 15
धृतराष्ट्रस्य उपालम्भः तथा पाण्डव-समाश्वासनम् | Dhṛtarāṣṭra Reproved and the Pāṇḍavas Consoled
तस्य संकल्पमाज्ञाय भीम॑ प्रत्यशुभं हरि: । भीममाक्षिप्य पाणिभ्यां प्रददौ भीममायसम्
tasya saṅkalpam ājñāya bhīmaṁ praty aśubhaṁ hariḥ | bhīmam ākṣipya pāṇibhyāṁ pradadau bhīmam āyasam ||
Compreendendo sua intenção sombria, Hari agiu de imediato: segurou Bhīma com ambas as mãos e pôs em seu lugar um formidável peso de ferro, para conter aquele desígnio funesto e impedir que a violência ultrapassasse o dharma.

Even justified anger in the wake of tragedy can turn 'aśubha' when it seeks excess; dharma requires restraint, and wise intervention may prevent a powerful person from acting on a destructive resolve.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Hari, perceiving Bhīma’s ominous intention, physically restrains him—grabbing him and imposing a heavy iron object—so that Bhīma’s impulse does not immediately translate into further harmful action.
