Shloka 5
आत्मदोष-उपदेशः तथा भीम-धृष्टद्युम्नयोः संयोगः
Self-Causation Counsel and the Bhīma–Dhṛṣṭadyumna Convergence
युयुत्सवस्ते विक्रान्ता विजयाय महाबला: । अन्योन्यमभिगर्जनन्तो गोष्ठेष्विव महर्षभा:,जैसे बड़े-बड़े साँड़ गोशालाओंमें गरजते हुए एक-दूसरेसे भिड़ जाते हैं, उसी प्रकार पराक्रमी और महाबली सैनिक विजयके लिये युद्धकी इच्छा रखकर गरजते हुए एक- दूसरेके सामने आये
yuyutsavas te vikrāntā vijayāya mahābalāḥ | anyonyam abhigarjananto goṣṭheṣv iva maharṣabhāḥ ||
三阇耶说：那些渴望交战、勇猛而强大的战士为求胜利而推进，彼此咆哮，如同牛棚中巨牛相互吼叫、逼近而将相撞。此景表明：对凯旋的渴求点燃武人的傲气，使人们在战争后果的道德清算展开之前，便被驱向对决。

The verse highlights the psychological momentum of war: the desire for victory and mutual provocation (roaring challenges) can overpower restraint. It implicitly frames the ethical tension of Kurukṣetra—valor and ambition surge forward even as dharma will later demand reflection on duty, consequence, and right conduct.
Sanjaya narrates the battlefield atmosphere: powerful warriors, intent on winning, advance toward each other while shouting and roaring in challenge, compared to great bulls bellowing and clashing in a cattle-shed.
