युधिष्ठिरस्य धनंजय-प्रति गर्हा
Yudhiṣṭhira’s Reproach to Dhanaṃjaya
ततो युधिष्ठिर: कर्णमदूरस्थं निवारितम् | अब्रवीत् परवीरघ्नं क्रोधसंरक्तलोचन:,उस समय युधिष्ठिरने क्रोधसे लाल आँखें करके शत्रुवीरोंका संहार करनेवाले कर्णसे जो पास ही रोक दिया गया था, इस प्रकार कहा--
tato yudhiṣṭhiraḥ karṇam adūrasthaṃ nivāritam | abravīt paravīraghnaṃ krodhasaṃraktalocanaḥ ||
Pagkatapos, si Yudhiṣṭhira—namumula ang mga mata sa galit—ay nagsalita kay Karṇa, mamumuksa ng mga bayani ng kaaway, na bagaman malapit ay napigil at nahadlangan. Sa sandaling iyon, lumitaw ang bigat ng tunggalian ng dangal sa digmaan: ang pagpipigil alang-alang sa dharma at tungkulin ng hari laban sa poot at kagyat na panawagan ng labanan.

Even in a just cause, anger can cloud judgment; the verse highlights the ethical need for restraint and clarity in speech and action during war, especially for a king responsible for dharma.
Sañjaya reports that Yudhiṣṭhira, enraged, turns to address Karṇa, who is nearby but has been held back; the verse sets up Yudhiṣṭhira’s forthcoming words in the heat of battle.
