अचिन्तयित्वा स शरांस्तरस्वी वृकोदर: क्रोधपरीतचेता:
acintayitvā sa śarāṁs tarasvī vṛkodaraḥ krodhaparītacetāḥ
三阇耶说道：毗迦多罗（弗栗迦多罗）不加思索，勇力无双，心为忿怒所蔽，便立刻放出箭矢；他是被急躁的怒火所驱，而非出于沉着的权衡。由此可见，在战争的重压之下，狂怒足以遮没克制。

Educational Q&A
The line highlights a moral-psychological warning: when anger seizes the mind, discernment and restraint are eclipsed, and action becomes impulsive. In the epic’s ethical frame, even justified martial energy should ideally be governed by buddhi (clear judgment), not krodha (wrath).
Sañjaya describes Bhīma (Vṛkodara) in the midst of battle: he does not pause to consider and, with great force, releases arrows while his mind is overtaken by anger—portraying the intensity and volatility of the combat scene.
