Ādi Parva, Adhyāya 180 — Svayaṃvara-Virodha and Pāṇḍava Parākrama
Draupadī Episode
यो हि कारणत:ः क्रोध॑ संजातं क्षन्तुमर्हति । नालं स मनुज: सम्यक् त्रिवर्ग परिरक्षितुम्
Aurva uvāca | yo hi kāraṇataḥ krodhaṃ sañjātaṃ kṣantum arhati | nālaṃ sa manuṣyaḥ samyak trivargaṃ parirakṣitum || tato vṛddhāṃś ca bālāṃś ca rākṣasān sa mahāmuniḥ | dadāha vitate yajñe śakteḥ vadham anusmaran ||
乌尔瓦说道：“凡因某种缘由而强忍心中已生之怒者，实不足以正当地护持人生三义——达摩、阿尔塔与迦摩。” 随后，大圣者帕罗沙罗在广大的祭仪中，反复追忆其父沙克提被害之事，遂开始焚灭罗刹——连老者与幼童也不放过。

Educational Q&A
The verse links governance of life’s aims (dharma, artha, kāma) with the proper handling of anger: uncontrolled or mismanaged anger undermines one’s capacity to protect these goals. It also warns, by narrative example, that anger rooted in grief and vengeance can expand into indiscriminate harm.
After Aurva’s statement about anger and the trivarga, the story turns to Parāśara: during a large sacrificial rite, he repeatedly remembers his father Śakti’s killing and, driven by that recollection, begins burning the Rākṣasas—without sparing even the elderly and children.
