all the
woes caused to them, and taking in
his hand his mace mighty like the
thunderbolt, the strong Bhima
forcibly
threw Dussasana on the ground in anger

and struck him; with limbs severely beaten

and broken, Dussasana fell down,
 

 
उत्क्षिप्य चोप्क्षिप्य च तूर्णमेनम्

भूमौ तदा निष्पिपेषाथ [वीर] ॥
 

Rapidly lifting him up again and again,

Bhima crushed Dussasana on the ground

at that time.

स्सुयोधनस्याधिरथेस्समक्षम् ।

'ये राजसूयावभृथे पवित्रा

स्तद्ब्रूहि त्वां पृच्छति भीमसेनः । '

उवाच 'यस्यास्ति बलं स रक्ष-

त्वसौ भवेदद्य निरस्तबाहुः ॥
