Mahabharata — Shalya Parva, Shloka 30
Śalya–Yudhiṣṭhira Duel and the Discharge of the Śakti (शल्यवधप्रसङ्गः)
महता हर्षजेनाथ नादेन कुरुपुड्रवा: | उन कुरुकुलके श्रेष्ठ वीरोंने रोषमें भरकर महान् हर्षनादके साथ वेगशाली वीर मद्रराज शल्यपर धावा किया ।। ह्वादेन गजघण्टानां शड्खानां निनदेन च
mahātā harṣajenātha nādena kurupuṅgavāḥ | tān kurukulake śreṣṭhān vīrān roṣeṇa pūrayitvā mahāharṣanādena saha vegāś ca vīrā madrarājaṃ śalyam abhidadhruvuḥ || hrādena gajaghaṇṭānāṃ śaṅkhānāṃ ninadena ca ||
桑阇耶说：随后，俱卢族中最杰出者发出由欢喜而生的巨大战吼，奔涌向前。那战吼激起俱卢诸勇士的怒火，迅捷的英雄们在象铃轰鸣与海螺号角（śaṅkha）长鸣之间，伴着胜利的欢呼，猛扑向摩陀罗王沙利耶。

The verse underscores how powerful collective emotions—joyful exhilaration and wrath—can drive warriors into intensified violence. In Mahābhārata’s ethical frame, such surges of passion (harṣa, roṣa) are potent forces that can eclipse restraint, reminding readers that inner states shape outward action, especially in war.
Sañjaya describes the Kuru champions raising a great roar and, stirring one another’s anger, rushing swiftly to attack Śalya, the king of Madra. The charge is accompanied by the booming of bells on elephants and the blaring of conches, amplifying the battlefield’s tumult.
