Indrajit’s Binding, Restoration by Viśalyā, and Counsel Restraining Rāvaṇa (Āraṇyaka Parva 273)
सरोषं भीमसेनं तु वारयामास फाल्गुन: । दुःशलाया: कृते राजा यत् तदाहेति कौरव,इतनेपर भी भीमसेनका क्रोध कम नहीं हुआ। यह देख अर्जुनने उन्हें रोका और कहा --“कुरुनन्दन! दुःशलाके वैधव्यका खयाल करके महाराजने जो आज्ञा दी थी, उसका भी तो विचार कीजिये”
vaiśampāyana uvāca |
sa-roṣaṃ bhīmasenaṃ tu vārayāmāsa phālgunaḥ |
duḥśalāyāḥ kṛte rājā yat tad āheti kaurava ||
毗舍波耶那说：见毗摩塞那仍怒火未息，法尔古那（阿周那）便拦住他，说道：“噢，俱卢族的王子啊，须记得国王为杜沙罗之故所下的命令——念及她寡居之身。也请将那道王命一并思量。”

Educational Q&A
Even when anger feels justified, dharma requires restraint and attention to wider obligations—especially compassion for the vulnerable (here, Duḥśalā as a widow) and respect for a rightful royal command.
Bhīma remains enraged; Arjuna physically and morally checks him, urging him to remember the king’s earlier instruction given with Duḥśalā’s situation in mind, and to let that consideration temper immediate vengeance.
