Lord Hari of unfailing insight, who
knew how the enemy (Jarasandha) was
born and how he would die * infused
Bhima with His own power, thought of
the way to kill the enemy and showed to
Bhima, by gesture, the tearing atwain of
a branch.

● मंत्रा
तद्विज्ञाय महासत्त्वो भीमः प्रहरतां वरः ।
गृहीत्वा पादयोः शत्रुं पातयामास भूतले ॥
Understanding that, Bhima of great
strength, the foremost of those who knew
how to strike, caught the enemy by the
feet, and threw him down on the ground.
एकं पादं पदाऽऽक्रम्य दोर्भ्यामन्यं प्रगृह्य सः ।
गुदतः पाटयामास शाखामिव महागजः ॥
Pressing one leg (of Jarasandha) with
his foot, and snatching (Jarasandha's)
other leg with his arms, (Bhima) tore
(Jarasandha) atwain even as a great
elephent might tear the bough of a tree.
* Jarasandha was born as two pieces which were
miraculously welded together and he would die only
when he was torn into two pieces.
