अध्याय २२ — अमर्याद-युद्धवर्णन
Unrestrained Battle Description and Śakuni’s Rear Assault
घोररूपमसंवार्य निर्मर्यादमवर्तत । जैसे देहधारी जीवात्माका पाँचों इन्द्रियोंके साथ युद्ध हो रहा हो, उसी प्रकार उन पाँचों भाइयोंके साथ कृपाचार्यका युद्ध हो रहा था। धीरे-धीरे वह युद्ध अत्यन्त घोर, अनिवार्य और अमर्यादित हो गया
ghorarūpam asaṃvārya nirmaryādam avartata |
三阇耶说道：战斗变得骇人——势不可当，越出一切界限。仿佛具身之灵与五根相争一般，克利帕阿阇梨与那五兄弟鏖战不休；而战事渐渐愈发惨烈，无法回避，毫无节制，显出战争如何侵蚀克制与达摩的边界。

The verse highlights how unchecked conflict becomes 'nirmaryāda'—crossing ethical boundaries. It implicitly warns that when restraint (maryādā) collapses, violence escalates into an irresistible force, challenging dharmic conduct even among renowned warriors.
Sañjaya describes the intensifying combat in which Kṛpācārya fights the five Pāṇḍava brothers. The struggle is likened to a single embodied self contending with the five senses, emphasizing the overwhelming, many-sided pressure of facing five opponents and the growing ferocity of the battle.
