दुःशासनवधः (Duḥśāsana-vadha) — Bhīma’s vow-fulfillment in combat
कर्णोडपि भृशसंक्रुद्धो धर्मराजं युधिष्ठिरम् । नाराचैरर्थचन्द्रेश्न वत्सदन्तैश्व संयुगे
karṇo 'pi bhṛśa-saṃkruddho dharmarājaṃ yudhiṣṭhiram | nārācair ardhacandraiś ca vatsadantaiś ca saṃyuge ||
三阇耶说道：迦尔那亦被狂烈之怒所点燃，在战阵最密处直扑法王由提施提罗，以那罗遮箭、半月刃矢与“犊齿”形的利镞连番攒射。此景昭示：嗔怒即便寄于英雄之身，也会驱使战斗无休止地升级，使王者之责与自我克制承受沉重的考验。

The verse highlights how krodha (anger) can dominate even a mighty warrior, intensifying conflict and testing dharma. It implicitly contrasts Yudhiṣṭhira’s identity as Dharmarāja with the battlefield reality where restraint and righteous conduct are hardest to maintain.
Sañjaya reports that Karṇa, seized by intense anger, launches a direct assault on Yudhiṣṭhira using multiple specialized arrow-types (nārāca, ardhacandra, vatsadanta), signaling a focused and aggressive attempt to overwhelm the Pāṇḍava king in the ongoing battle.
