शकुनिवधः — Sahadeva’s Slaying of Śakuni
with Ulūka’s fall
दुर्योधनं शरैस्ती3णै: संक्रुद्ध: समवाकिरत् । प्रजानाथ! थोड़ी देरमें सचेत होनेपर क्रोधमें भरे हुए सहदेव दुर्योधनपर पैने बाणोंकी वर्षा करने लगे
duryodhanaṃ śarais tīkṣṇaiḥ saṃkruddhaḥ samavākirat |
三阇耶说道：盛怒之下，萨诃提婆以锐利之箭如雨倾洒，尽数笼罩住都利约陀那。在这场战争的道德氛围中，此刻昭示：即便是正直的战士，一旦彻底清醒而又被激怒，也会被嗔怒驱使，施以不息的杀伐——达摩在此不再以温柔呈现，而是化作战场上严酷的职责。

The verse highlights the ethical tension of kṣatriya life: even a generally dharmic warrior can be overtaken by krodha, yet in a battlefield context that anger is channeled into the grim duty of combat. It implicitly warns that wrath is powerful and contagious, shaping action even when one fights for a just cause.
Sañjaya narrates that Sahadeva, now fully roused and furious, launches a concentrated barrage of sharp arrows at Duryodhana, attempting to overwhelm him in the ongoing Kurukṣetra battle.
