Śalya–Yudhiṣṭhira Duel and the Discharge of the Śakti (शल्यवधप्रसङ्गः)
विधिवत् कल्पितं शुभ्र॑ महाम्बुदनिनादिनम् । सज्जयन्त्रोपकरणं द्विषतां लोमहर्षणम्
vidhivat kalpitaṁ śubhraṁ mahāmbuda-ninādinam | sajja-yantropakaraṇaṁ dviṣatāṁ lomaharṣaṇam ||
桑阇耶说道：于是摩陀罗王沙利耶含笑登上另一乘战车。那战车洁白辉耀，依礼整备；其声沉雄如大云轰鸣，诸般机括与器具一应俱全，足以令敌军毛骨悚然。

Educational Q&A
Even in war, action is portrayed as structured and rule-bound (vidhivat): power is not merely brute force but disciplined preparation, and the ethical tension lies in how such ordered readiness can still be used to inspire fear and destruction.
Sañjaya describes Śalya smiling as he mounts another chariot; the chariot is splendid, properly outfitted, thunderous like a storm-cloud, and intimidating to enemies—signaling a renewed, formidable entry into the battle scene.
