Shloka 33
Duryodhana’s Anxiety, Bhīṣma’s Reassurance, and Renewed Mobilization (दुर्योधनचिन्ता–भीष्मप्रत्याश्वासन–सेनानिर्गमनम्)
अभिमन्युस्तु संक्रुद्धो लक्ष्मणं शुभलक्षणम् । विव्याध निशितै: षड्भि: सारथिं च त्रिभि: शरै:,तब क्रोधमें भरे हुए अभिमन्युने उत्तम लक्षणोंसे युक्त लक्ष्मणको छः: और उसके सारथिको तीन तीखे बाणोंसे बींध डाला
abhimanyus tu saṅkruddho lakṣmaṇaṁ śubhalakṣaṇam | vivyādha niśitaiḥ ṣaḍbhiḥ sārathiṁ ca tribhiḥ śaraiḥ ||
Sinabi ni Sañjaya: Sa galit, tinamaan ni Abhimanyu si Lakṣmaṇa—na may mapalad na mga tanda—ng anim na palasong matalim, at pati ang kanyang tagapagmaneho ng karwahe ay tinamaan din niya ng tatlong palaso.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how anger (krodha) accelerates violence and widens harm in war—so that even non-royal attendants like a charioteer are struck—inviting reflection on self-mastery and the ethical strain within kṣatriya-duty on the battlefield.
Sañjaya reports that Abhimanyu, furious in combat, shoots Lakṣmaṇa with six sharp arrows and then shoots Lakṣmaṇa’s charioteer with three arrows, marking a rapid, forceful exchange in the Kurukṣetra battle.
