अभ्यद्रवन्त समरे भीम॑ भीमपराक्रमम् । प्रभो! उस शूरवीरकों मारा गया देख उसके भाई समरभूमिमें भयंकर पराक्रमी भीमसेनपर सब ओरसे टूट पड़े

قال سنجيا: «وفي غمرة القتال اندفعوا نحو بهيما—بهيما ذي البأس المروّع. يا مولاي، لما رأوا ذلك البطل قد قُتل، هبّ إخوته، وقد اشتعلوا حزنًا وواجبًا، فانقضّوا من كل جانب في ساحة الحرب على بهيماسينا، ذي القوة المفزعة.»
