Chapter 23: Śakuni Reports, Kaurava Advance, and Arjuna’s Penetration of the Host
पार्श्वतो5भ्यहनत् क्रुद्धो धृष्टद्युम्नस्प वाहिनीम् । उन सबके चले जानेपर सुबलपुत्र शकुनि पुनः कुपित हो पार्श्रभागसे आकर धृष्टद्यम्मकी सेनाका संहार करने लगा
pārśvato 'bhyahanat kruddho dhṛṣṭadyumnas tu vāhinīm |
三阇耶说道：怒火中烧的提湿陀提耶摩那从侧翼猛击敌军，以横扫之势切入其阵，撕裂军列。战争的残酷势头里，战术的狂烈取代了克制；战场遂成检验统御、勇气与正法边界之处——在屠戮之间，何为合乎义理，皆受拷问。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how anger can drive decisive action in war, raising the ethical tension between necessary kṣatriya duty and the moral danger of letting wrath govern conduct. It invites reflection on whether strategy and duty can remain aligned with dharma when emotions intensify violence.
Sañjaya reports that Dhṛṣṭadyumna, in anger, attacks an army formation from the flank, implying a tactical side-assault that disrupts and damages the opposing host during the Shalya Parva battles.
