Shloka 5
अथाशु भीम॑ च शरेण भूयो गाढं स विव्याध सुतस्त्वदीय: । चुक्रोध भीम: पुनराशु तस्मै भृशं प्रजज्वाल रुषाभिवीक्ष्य
athāśu bhīmaṁ ca śareṇa bhūyo gāḍhaṁ sa vivyādha sutastvadīyaḥ | cukrodha bhīmaḥ punarāśu tasmai bhṛśaṁ prajajvāla ruṣābhivīkṣya ||
Wika ni Sañjaya: Pagkatapos, mabilis na muling tinamaan ng anak mo si Bhīma ng isang palaso, at malalim ang pagkabaon. Muling nagngitngit si Bhīma, itinuon ang titig sa kanya; at sa naglalagablab na poot, agad siyang sumiklab.

The verse highlights the battlefield ethic where injury provokes immediate counter-action, and it also illustrates how unchecked krodha (anger) rapidly intensifies—an inner fire that can drive decisive action but also risks overpowering discernment.
Sañjaya reports that Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s son strikes Bhīma again with an arrow, wounding him deeply. Bhīma, seeing the attacker, becomes fiercely enraged and ‘blazes’ with wrath, signaling an imminent and forceful response.
