तस्य शल्यो रणे क्रुद्धः शरै: संनतपर्वभि:
tasya śalyo raṇe kruddhaḥ śaraiḥ saṃnataparvabhiḥ
میدانِ جنگ میں غضبناک شلیہ نے مضبوط جوڑوں والے تیروں سے اس پر حملہ کیا۔
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights how anger (krodha) can dominate even a disciplined warrior: refined skill and well-crafted weapons, when driven by wrath, intensify harm. It implicitly warns that inner restraint is as crucial as martial competence in kṣatriya conduct.
Sañjaya reports that Śalya, enraged on the battlefield, attacks his opponent with well-made arrows—signaling an escalation in the combat and Śalya’s aggressive intent.
