Adi Parva 135: The Miner’s Warning and Construction of the Escape Passage
द्रोण उदाच वारयैतौ महावीरयों कृतयोग्यावुभावपि । मा भूद् रज्भप्रकोपो5यं भीमदुर्योधनोद्धव:
vaiśampāyana uvāca |
droṇa uvāca—vārayaitau mahāvīrau kṛtayogyāv ubhāv api |
mā bhūd raṅgaprakopo ’yaṃ bhīmaduryodhanodbhavaḥ ||
துரோணர் கூறினார்—மகனே! இவ்விருவரும் மகாவீரர்கள்; இருவரும் போருக்கு முற்றிலும் தகுதியும் பயிற்சியும் பெற்றவர்கள். இவர்களைத் தடுத்து நிறுத்து; பீமன்–துரியோதனன் காரணமாக அரங்கில் கோபத்தால் கலகம் எழாதிருக்கட்டும்.

Educational Q&A
A teacher and authority figure must prevent trained power from being driven by anger; discipline and restraint are part of dharma, especially when rivalry could inflame a crowd and lead to harm.
During a public martial display in the arena, Droṇa instructs that the two formidable fighters be stopped, fearing that the Bhīma–Duryodhana hostility will erupt into a wider disturbance.
