एवंमावेदितो राजा जहासोच्चैस्स मागधः ।

आह चामर्षितो 'मन्दा युद्धं तर्हि ददामि वः ।

न त्वया भीरुणा योत्स्ये नातिसत्त्वो न मे समः ।

अर्जुनो न भवेद्योद्धा, भीमस्तुल्यबलो मम' ॥
 

Thus informed, the king of the

Magadhas laughed aloud, and said in

anger : " Fools! I will then offer you

battle. (Krishna !), I will not fight with

you, a coward; neither my superior

in strength nor my equal, Arjuna cannot

fight me; Bhima is equal to me in

strength."
 

 
इत्युक्त्वा भीमसेनाय प्रदाय महतीं गदाम् ।

द्वितीयां स्वयमादाय निर्जगाम पुराद्वहिः ॥
 

Having spoken thus Jarasandha gave

Bhima a big mace, himself took another,

and went out of the city.
 

 
निर्विशेषभभूद्युद्धमक्षीणजवयोः [नृप] ॥
 

The fight between the two of unabated

force went on with victory for neither.
 

 
शत्रोर्जन्ममृती विद्वान् पार्थमाप्याययन् हरिः ।

सञ्चिन्त्यारिवधोपायं भीमस्यामोघदर्शनः ।

दर्शयामास विटपं पाटयन्निव संज्ञया ॥
