Shloka 19
तां प्रेक्ष्य महतीं मायां राक्षसो राक्षसस्य च । ऊर्ध्वमुत्पत्य हैडिम्बिस्तां मायां माययावधीत्,राक्षसकी उस विशाल मायाको देखकर राक्षसजातीय हिडिम्बाकुमार घटोत्कचने ऊपर उड़कर अपनी मायासे उस मायाको नष्ट कर दिया
tāṁ prekṣya mahatīṁ māyāṁ rākṣaso rākṣasasya ca | ūrdhvam utpatya haiḍimbis tāṁ māyāṁ māyayāvadhīt ||
قال سنجيا: فلما رأى تلك المَايَا العظيمة التي أظهرها الرَّاكْشَسَا، قفز غَطُوتْكَچَا—ابن هِيدِمْبَا، المولود من سلالة الرَّاكْشَسَا—إلى أعلى، وبمَايَاه هو أبطل تلك المَايَا.

Educational Q&A
In a conflict where deception and magical stratagems appear, ethical responsibility includes vigilance and skillful means: one must recognize illusion (māyā) and neutralize it effectively to prevent harm, rather than being overwhelmed by appearances.
Sañjaya reports that Ghaṭotkaca, seeing a huge illusion created by an opposing rākṣasa, rises into the air and uses his own magical power to destroy that illusion, turning the tide against deceptive tactics.
