शल्यपरिघातः (Śalya Under Encirclement) — Mahābhārata, Śalya-parva, Adhyāya 12
विव्याध समरे क्रुद्धो बहुभि: कड्कपत्रिभि: | महाबली शल्य पाण्डुपुत्र युधिष्ठिरको रोककर उन्हें मार डालनेकी इच्छासे समरांगणमें कंकपत्रयुक्त अनेक बाणोंद्वारा उनपर क्रोधपूर्वक प्रहार करने लगे ।। अथ भूयो महाराज शरेणानतपर्वणा
sañjaya uvāca | vivyādha samare kruddho bahubhiḥ kaṅkapatribhiḥ | mahābalī śalyaḥ pāṇḍuputraṃ yudhiṣṭhiram roṣakarān hantuṃ samaraṅgaṇe kruddhaḥ kaṅkapatrayuktair anekaiḥ śaraiḥ prāharat || atha bhūyo mahārāja śareṇānataparvaṇā ... |
三阇耶说道：战阵炽烈之时，力大无比的沙利耶怒火中烧，意欲诛杀般度之子坚战，便在战场上以多支缀有鹭羽之箭反复射击于他。继而又一次，噢，大王，他以另一支节处下弯之箭继续猛攻。

The verse highlights how anger (krodha) can dominate even a great warrior’s conduct in war, intensifying violence and narrowing judgment. In the Mahabharata’s ethical frame, such rage is a powerful inner enemy: it may be tactically effective, yet it risks eclipsing restraint and dharmic clarity.
Sanjaya reports to King Dhritarashtra that Shalya, fighting fiercely, attacks Yudhishthira with many feather-fletched arrows, aiming to kill him. The description emphasizes repeated strikes and the relentless continuation of the assault with yet another specially described arrow.
