भीष्मस्य कोपस्तव चैवेन्द्रकल्प द्रोणस्य राज्ञश्न युधिष्ठिरस्य । उत्सादयेल्लोकमिमं प्रवृद्ध: श्वेतो ग्रहस्ति्यगिवापतन् खे
bhīṣmasya kopas tava caivendrakalpa droṇasya rājñaś ca yudhiṣṭhirasya | utsādayel lokam imaṁ pravṛddhaḥ śveto grahas tiryag ivāpatan khe ||
毗度罗告诫国王：若毗湿摩之怒、陛下——勇武如因陀罗者——之怒、德罗那之怒，以及坚战王（Yudhishthira）之怒任其膨胀而不加节制，足以摧毁此世。正如一颗苍白的彗星斜贯长空，被视为不祥之兆，令四方骚动、灾厄丛生；他们愈盛的怒火亦将成为普遍毁灭之因。

Educational Q&A
Unchecked anger in powerful leaders becomes a public catastrophe. Vidura frames wrath as a force that can destroy society, urging restraint and timely reconciliation as a dharmic duty of rulers and elders.
In the Udyoga Parva’s pre-war negotiations, Vidura counsels the Kuru king, warning that if the anger of key figures—Bhishma, the king addressed, Drona, and Yudhishthira—intensifies, it will trigger widespread devastation, like an ominous comet foretelling turmoil.
