As she spoke thus pitifully, weeping, looking again and again at her husbands, Duhshasana addressed Krishna with harsh, unpleasant, and unkind words. And seeing her — dragged about, in her impurity, her upper garment slipped, undeserving of such treatment — and glancing at Yudhishthira, Vrikodara [Bhima] grew wrathful in the extreme, his face taking on a look of the deepest sorrow.

Bhima's anger boils up not at Duhshasana alone, but turns also upon Yudhishthira: "seeing her, and glancing at Yudhishthira." It is telling that his gaze falls on the brother whose game brought the queen to disgrace: the grief of righteous anger lies in this, that the one at fault is also the one beloved. The verse teaches how tormenting is anger with no clean outlet: Bhima is bound by reverence for his elder and can neither punish his brother nor bear the insult unavenged. And "of most sorrowful aspect" — his anger is mixed with grief: not malice, but pain both for the woman wronged and for the brother who has fallen. Thus noble anger differs from base fury: it suffers even as it condemns, and grieves even as it burns with indignation. The chapter breaks off on this rising anger — the threshold of Bhima's terrible vows.
