THE MAHABHARATA
Undergoing then the purificatory rites
mentioned in the Vedas, the sons of
Pandu lived happily, playing in joy along
with the sons of Dhritarashtra.
बालक्रीडासु सर्वासु विशिष्टास्तेजसाऽभवन् ॥
In all juvenile sports, the sons of Pandu
distinguished themselves by their might.
शतमेकोत्तरं तेषां कुमाराणां महौजसाम् ।
एक एव निगृह्णाति नातिकृच्छ्राकोदरः ॥
Those hundred and one sons of great
valour (of Dhritarashtra), Bhima overpowers
single handed, without much difficulty.
ततो बलमतिख्यातं धार्तराष्ट्र: प्रतापवान् ।
भीमसेनस्य तज्ज्ञात्वा दुष्टभावमदर्शयत् ।
नित्यमेवान्तरप्रेक्षी भीमस्यासीन्महात्मनः ॥
Knowing then the very celebrated
strength of Bhimasena, the powerful son of
Dhritarashtra (Dhuryodhana) showed evil
feelings. He was always on the look out
for an opportune moment to harm the
mighty Bhima.
