وہ اپنی نشستوں سے اٹھ کھڑے ہوئے اور بازو اس طرح جھٹکنے لگے گویا وار کرنے کو تیار ہوں۔ غضبناک زہریلے سانپوں کی طرح وہ ایک دوسرے کو گھورنے لگے۔

Educational Q&A

Sañjaya describes a tense moment in the court/assembly: people rise from their seats, wave their arms as if ready to strike, and glare at each other like enraged venomous snakes—signaling that the dispute is close to turning physical.
