Bhīṣma’s Appraisal of Pāṇḍava-Alliance Warriors (Śikhaṇḍin, Dhṛṣṭadyumna, and Allied Kings)
ते स्मरन्तश्न संग्रामे चरिष्यन्ति च रुद्रवत् । द्यूतक्रीड़ाके समय द्रौपदीको जो महान् क्लेश दिया गया और पाण्डवोंके प्रति कठोर बातें सुनायी गयीं
te smarantas tu saṅgrāme cariṣyanti ca rudravat | dyūtakrīḍā-kāle draupadyā mahān kleśo yaḥ pradattaḥ pāṇḍavān prati ca kaṭhorāṇi vacāṃsi śrāvitāni tāni sarvāṇi smṛtvā te raṇabhūmau rudrasamaṃ vicariṣyanti |
毗湿摩说道：“他们在战阵之中忆起往事，必将如鲁陀罗般纵横驰骋。想起掷骰之时施加于德劳帕蒂的巨大羞辱，以及加诸般度五子的刻薄恶言，他们必将在战场上如鲁陀罗一般往来奔走。”

Unaddressed injustice—especially public humiliation and cruel speech—becomes a powerful moral fuel for conflict; Bhishma highlights how remembrance of adharma can harden resolve and unleash fierce, Rudra-like action in war.
Bhishma explains that, as the war approaches, the warriors (especially the Pandavas and their side) will recall the wrongs done during the dice-game—Draupadi’s suffering and the insults to the Pandavas—and, stirred by that memory, will fight with terrifying intensity on the battlefield.
