三阇耶说道：大王啊，他因弓被斩断而暴怒，便以锐箭射伤毗摩塞那。他从四面反复猛攻；然而强大的毗摩塞那以极快之势击碎来箭，继而怒火炽盛，斩断对手之弓，并以利矢使其负伤。

The verse highlights how anger (krodha) rapidly intensifies violence: repeated attacks provoke an even harsher counterstrike. Ethically, it illustrates the battlefield tension between kṣatriya duty to fight and the peril of losing inner restraint, where prowess becomes inseparable from wrath-driven escalation.
A warrior, furious that his bow has been cut, showers Bhīmasena with sharp arrows from all sides. Bhīma swiftly destroys the incoming arrows, then—now fully enraged—cuts the opponent’s bow and wounds him with keen shafts, turning defense into decisive retaliation.
