अध्याय ३: कृपस्य दुर्योधनं प्रति नीत्युपदेशः
Kṛpa’s Counsel to Duryodhana
आसाद्य भीमसेन ते संरब्धा युद्धदुर्मदा:
āsādya bhīmasena te saṃrabdhā yuddha-durmadāḥ
Wika ni Sañjaya: Nang makalapit sila kay Bhīmasena, sila—nag-aalab sa poot at naging pabigla-bigla dahil sa pagkalasing sa digmaan—ay sumugod upang makipaglaban sa kanya.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how anger and battle-frenzy can overpower judgment: warriors, intoxicated by combat, rush toward a formidable opponent. It implicitly warns that uncontrolled passion (krodha, durmada) drives action in war, often eclipsing discernment and restraint.
Sañjaya reports that a group of warriors closes in on Bhīma. They are provoked and emboldened by the heat of battle, and they advance to engage him directly.
