भीमः-
THE MAHABHARATA
 
'दुश्शासने यादृशं संश्रुतं नः
तदवाप्तं पाण्डवैस्सर्वमेव ।
 
अत्रैवमा स्याम्यपरं द्वितीयं
 
दुर्योधनं यशपशु विशस्य ॥'
 
Bhima-
"What was vowed against Dussasana,
all that has been achieved by the
Pandavas; even so, in this battle-field here,
I will accomplish that other and second
vow by butchering the sacrificial animal,
Duryodhana."
 
एतावदुक्त्वा वचनं प्रहृष्टो
 
ननर्त चैवातिबलो महात्मा ॥
 
Saying this much, the great Bhima of
excelling strength danced in joy.
 
ततः कर्ण [महाराज] प्रविवेश महद्भयम्
दृष्ट्वा भीमस्य विक्रान्तमन्तकस्य प्रजास्विव ॥
 
Seeing the might of Bhima, like that of
the god of Death among men, great fear
took hold of Karna then.
