Shloka 26
दुःशासनवधः (Duḥśāsana-vadha) — Bhīma’s vow-fulfillment in combat
यत्र यत्र स धर्मात्मा दुष्टां दृष्टिं व्यसर्जयत् । तत्र तत्र व्यशीर्यन्त तावका भरतर्षभ
sañjaya uvāca | yatra yatra sa dharmātmā duṣṭāṃ dṛṣṭiṃ vyasarjayat | tatra tatra vyaśīryanta tāvakā bharatarṣabha ||
三阇耶说道：凡那位具正法之心者投下凶厉而为忿怒之过所染的目光之处，哦，婆罗多族之雄，你方战士便在彼处当即崩碎四散。由是，即便在战场暴烈之中，犹提湿提罗的临阵之威——道德崇高而一时为怒火所激——亦成了决定性的力量，摧折敌军行列。

Educational Q&A
Even a person grounded in dharma can be overtaken by anger in crisis; when moral authority is joined with wrath, it becomes especially potent and destructive. The verse implicitly warns about the power—and danger—of a 'corrupted gaze' (duṣṭā dṛṣṭi), suggesting that inner states (like krodha) can decisively shape outer outcomes.
Sanjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Yudhiṣṭhira, though known as dharmātmā, directs a fierce, anger-tinged gaze in various directions on the battlefield, and wherever he does so, the Kaurava troops break apart and scatter.
