Bhima, enraged by Karna's words, is pacified by Yudhishthira

Bhimasena heard Karna's words — that a woman had become the salvation for the sons of Pandu — and the meaning went into him like a blade. He was extremely hurt. In the midst of the Kurus, he spoke unhappily. He cited an old teaching. "Devala has said that there are three stars for a man — offspring, deeds and learning, since these are the source of creation. When the body has lost life and is hollow and impure, discarded by relatives, these are the three that survive." These were the lights that outlasted a man's corpse. Then he delivered his own verdict. "But our light has become dark, because our wife has been humiliated." He turned to Arjuna in despair. "O Dhananjaya! How can offspring from a defiled one serve any purpose?" Arjuna replied with cool, almost distant, principle. "The Bharatas do not talk about words from inferior men, uttered or not uttered. They only converse about those from superior men. They remember good deeds and not enmity that has been shown. They know only the good because they have confidence in their own selves." It was an argument for ignoring the insult, for rising above it through inner certainty. Bhima was not made for rising above. "Right now, I will kill all the enemies who have assembled here." He addressed Yudhishthira directly, his voice shifting from despair to a terrible, practical offer. "O Indra among kings! O descendant of the Bharata lineage! Shall I tear them up by their roots? O descendant of the Bharata lineage! Where is the need to debate this or suffer? Here and now, I am going to kill all of them and you can rule the earth without a rival." Having said this, Bhimasena, surrounded by his younger brothers, glanced at his club. The text says he looked like a lion in the midst of deer. Arjuna, whose deeds are unblemished, pacified him and cooled him. But the mighty-armed and valorous one streamed with anger. The pacification did not take. His fury became a physical force. O lord of men! He was so angry that smoke, sparks and flaming fire issued from his ears and other openings in his body. His brows were furrowed. His face was terrible to behold, like Yama's form when destruction at the end of a yuga is near. Yudhishthira did not speak more words. He acted. He restrained the mighty-armed one with his arms. He told him not to act in this way and to be quiet. Having restrained the mighty-armed one, whose eyes were red with anger, Yudhishthira then approached his father Dhritarashtra, his hands joined in salutation — moving from containing an explosion to making an appeal, the crisis held in check by a brother's grip.
