Shloka 27
स छिन्नधन्वा संक्रुद्ध: सृक्किणी परिसंलिहन् । शक्ति जग्राह तरसा गिरीणामणि दारणीम
sa chinnadhanvā saṅkruddhaḥ sṛkkiṇī parisaṁlihan | śaktiṁ jagrāha tarasā girīṇām aṇi-dāraṇīm ||
三阇耶说道：弓既被斩断，毗湿摩怒意勃发，舔舐唇角以示凶决，旋即奋然执起“沙克提”（重枪），此器相传可裂山巅。此景昭示战争暴力的无尽升级：一法既折，便取更可怖之法；而愤怒遂成驱动毁灭的薪火。

The verse highlights how anger in warfare quickly seeks new instruments of harm: when one weapon fails, wrath drives the warrior to seize a more destructive means. Ethically, it illustrates the momentum of conflict—how violence tends to intensify rather than conclude—warning that unchecked krodha (anger) sustains and amplifies suffering.
In the battle, Bhīṣma’s bow has been cut. Enraged, he licks the corners of his mouth in a fierce gesture and immediately takes up a śakti (a heavy spear/javelin), described as powerful enough to split mountains, preparing to continue fighting with another formidable weapon.
