Garuḍa Array and the Ardhacandra Counter-Formation
ततः सेनापति:ः क्रुद्धों भीष्मं बहुभिरायसै:
tataḥ senāpatiḥ kruddho bhīṣmaṃ bahubhir āyasaiḥ
Sabi ni Sañjaya: Pagkaraan, ang kumander, nag-aalab sa galit, ay sumalakay kay Bhīṣma gamit ang maraming sandatang bakal—larawan ng poot sa digmaan, kung saan ang personal na galit ang nagtutulak sa paglala ng karahasan laban sa iginagalang na matandang mandirigma.

The verse highlights how anger (krodha) can overtake judgment even in a dharma-framed war, turning combat into a personal, escalating assault—an ethical warning about the corrosive power of wrath in leadership and conflict.
Sañjaya reports that an enraged commander attacks Bhīṣma with numerous iron weapons, intensifying the battle action around Bhīṣma, the central Kuru warrior.
