三阇耶说道：那位大心之士在阵中立下必杀迦尔纳之子的决意，迅疾放出如雨箭矢。继而，戴冠的阿周那在战口之处怒眉三折，连发利矢。其目因愤怒而赤红，灭敌如与死神为敌者，遂带着冷峻的笑意对迦尔纳开口说道。

The verse highlights the kṣatriya ethic of unwavering resolve in battle, while also showing how anger and vengeance can sharpen intent and speech. It frames martial action as duty-driven yet morally charged, reminding readers that even ‘righteous’ warfare is psychologically fueled by powerful emotions.
Sañjaya describes Arjuna, diadem on his head, fixing his mind on killing Karṇa’s son and immediately unleashing arrows. His brows knit in wrath and his eyes redden; then he turns to address Karṇa with an intense, grim smile, signaling a direct confrontation and escalation.
