The Fall of Duryodhana and the Contest of Restraint
सम॑ प्रहरतोस्तत्र शूरयोर्बलिनोर्मथे । क्षुब्धयोर्वायुना राजन् द्वयोरिव समुद्रयो:
samaṁ praharatos tatra śūrayoḥ balinor mathe | kṣubdhayor vāyunā rājan dvayor iva samudrayoḥ ||
大王啊，在那激烈的交锋中，两位强悍的勇士以同等之力互相击打；其巨杵相撞之声如霹雳轰鸣，恰似两片被狂风搅动的海洋翻涌相击。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the destructive parity of unchecked martial power: when equally strong opponents collide, the resulting turmoil is vast and impersonal, like natural forces. It implicitly cautions that valor without restraint magnifies suffering and upheaval.
Vāyudeva describes two powerful warriors striking each other with equal force amid the intensity of battle, comparing their collision to two wind-tossed oceans crashing together, emphasizing the thunder-like impact of their blows.
