Śalya-parva Adhyāya 26 — Duryodhana’s remnant formation and rapid engagements
ततः क्रुद्धो रणे भीम: शिरो दुर्मर्षणस्य ह
tataḥ kruddho raṇe bhīmaḥ śiro durmarṣaṇasya ha
Wika ni Sañjaya: Pagkaraan, sa gitna ng labanan, si Bhīma na nag-aalab sa poot ay pinugutan si Durmarṣaṇa—ganyan ang mabagsik na batas ng digmaan, kung saan ang galit at paghihiganti ang nagtutulak sa tao sa pasyang tiyak at hindi na maibabalik.
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights how, in war, uncontrolled anger can become the immediate motive force behind lethal action; it implicitly contrasts the warrior’s duty to fight with the ethical danger of being driven primarily by wrath and revenge.
Sañjaya reports that Bhīma, enraged on the battlefield, cuts off (or strikes down) the head of the Kaurava prince Durmarṣaṇa, marking a decisive killing in the ongoing Kurukṣetra conflict.
