भीमः -
THE MAHABHARATA
 

'दुश्शासने यादृशं संश्रुतं नः

तदवाप्तं पाण्डवैस्सर्वमेव ।
 

अत्रैवमा प्स्याम्यपरं द्वितीयं
 

दुर्योधनं यज्ञशुशुं 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 कर्णं [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.
