Gadā-yuddhe Bhīma–Duryodhanayoḥ Tumulaḥ Saṃprahāraḥ
Mace-duel’s intense exchange
भीमसेन: पुनः क्रुद्धों दुर्योधनमुवाच ह । शिखरयुक्त कैलास पर्वतके समान गदा उठाये दुर्योधनको खड़ा देख भीमसेन पुनः कुपित हो उससे इस प्रकार बोले--
sañjaya uvāca | bhīmasenaḥ punaḥ kruddho duryodhanam uvāca ha | śikhara-yukta-kailāsa-parvata-samaṃ gadām utthāya duryodhanaṃ sthitaṃ dṛṣṭvā bhīmasenaḥ punaḥ kupito ’sau tathā vacanam abravīt— |
三阇耶曰：毗摩塞那再度怒火炽然，开口对兜利约陀那说道。见兜利约陀那挺立不移，举锤在手——如群峰冠顶的凯拉萨山——毗摩之怒复又翻涌，遂以如下言辞相告。此景昭示：骄矜与愤怒使斗士之志愈加坚硬，将决斗推向关乎胜负、亦关乎道义的终极高潮。

The verse highlights how anger and pride intensify conflict and narrow moral vision. Even within a kshatriya duel framed by duty, unchecked wrath becomes a force that drives escalation and makes the ethical stakes of victory and defeat sharper.
Sanjaya describes Bhima seeing Duryodhana standing with his mace raised, compared to peak-crowned Mount Kailasa. Provoked by this formidable stance, Bhima becomes angry again and begins to address Duryodhana, setting up the next exchange in their climactic mace-fight.
