三阇耶说道：迦尔那怒火炽盛，人们看见他斩落战车武士，连同大将（mahāmātra）的战象，连同骑手的战马，以及成群的步兵。

The verse highlights the moral danger of krodha (wrath): even heroic capability, when driven by anger, becomes a force of sweeping destruction. It implicitly contrasts martial duty with the need for inner restraint and discernment.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Karṇa, furious in the midst of battle, is visibly cutting down multiple divisions—chariot-fighters, elephant units with their commanders, cavalry with riders, and infantry formations.
